grass is always greener I guess. I remember reading quotes somewhere about how Kiri likes playing in Utah. Ewwww. I'll pass. E-V-I-L I'd much rather have KT over Kiri.
AK was the second best defender in the league by numbers last year Kenny is good and underrated, but not even on the same planet as Kirelinko on D
I'm a Jazz fan, while my identical twin brother (we use the same user name, by the way) is a Rockets fan, so I saw a lot of both teams last year. I think Kirilenko is better on defense. Obviously, he can't hold down a heavy PF, but the Jazz have Malone/Marshall to do that. He's more than fast enough to play SF, even though he's 6'9", which makes him a blocking machine, much like Griffin. KT is better on offense (obviously). Kirilenko's offense, while decent, was not inspiring. His supposed 3-point shot turned out to be 25%, his mid-range shooting is lukewarm, and he can finish at the basket, but has only decent ball-handling skills. As most have said, the Jazz aren't parting with him, especially if they lose Russell (and it looks like they will).
