Thad Matta is not well-liked
"Listen, if you can't get along with a kid like Kosta, then you're clueless," Greynolds said. "If you're making $2 million season and can't figure out how to use a 7-foot-1 kid, you're clueless. If you can't get along with a kid who comes early, stays late and gets good grades, you're clueless, and you've got the problem."

B.J. Mullens Declares Eligibility for NBADL
Last season, the front court of the ultimately NIT-bound Ohio State Buckeyes featured a seven-foot big man by the name of Kosta Koufos. A native of Canton, Ohio, Koufos had a reasonably successful season, averaging 14 points and seven rebounds per game and was actually named the NIT MVP (yes, that exists) after leading the Buckeyes to [...]

Giddens Sparks 4th Quarter Rally
Without a Celtics game on to watch, I tuned into Futurecast on NBA.com and watched the Flash game against the Bakersfield Jam. At the half, it looked like the Jam was going to run away with the game as they were playing with a lot more energy than the Flash. Giddens didn't look all that great in the game either. But, in the second half, it was a different story and Celtics...

The Purdue Paragon
Outside the State of Indiana, the names and talents of Robbie Hummel and E'Twaun Moore were not particularly well-known at the season's inception. It was the darlings of Major Media, IU's Eric Gordon and Thad Matta's next great recruiting class led by Kosta Koufos and John Diebler, who received the acclaim rather than Matt Painter's Indiana bred freshman four.

Stay In Denver, Melo! | The Draft Is All The Nets Need
As the teams in the Atlantic Division have shown against the Nets this year, they are a soft, lazy, and at times emotionless team that needs that spark to get them going at the end of games. Carmelo Anthony is not that guy and never will be. Bill Walker and Kosta Koufos may not be the most attractive names, but they are the players who will bring the Nets to that next level in the...
