Basketball Betting Lines
07/13/2010 -
Salt Lake City, UT (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Utah Jazz have acquired
center/forward Al Jefferson from the Minnesota Timberwolves in exchange for
center Kosta Koufos, the Memphis Grizzlies' protected 2011 first-round pick
(obtained by the Jazz in a previous trade) and an additional future protected
first-round pick.
Jefferson, who averaged 17.1 points and 6.9 rebounds last season, fills the
void created by Carlos Boozer. He left via free agency to sign with the
Chicago Bulls.
"We are happy to acquire a young power player who has developed into one of
the best low post scorers in the league," Utah general manager Kevin O'Connor
said. "We gave up significant assets to obtain Al and we look forward to
watching him progress with our team."
In three seasons with the Timberwolves (2007-10), Jefferson started in 208
games and averaged 20.1 points, 10.4 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.44 blocks
while leading the team in scoring each season.
Originally selected by the Boston Celtics in the first round (15th overall) of
the 2004 NBA Draft, Jefferson has averaged 15.3 points, 8.7 rebounds, 1.2
assists and 1.25 blocks in 407 career games (276 starts) over six seasons with
Boston and Minnesota.
Koufos, originally selected by the Jazz in the first round (23rd overall) of
the 2008 draft, owns career averages of 3.3 points and 2.2 rebounds in 48
games (seven starts).
