Two things

Ok, the first thing I want to tell everyone is that I ate the new Double Down from KFC. It is delicious, lots of chicken, cheese and bacon(obviously), but the commercial makes it seem like it will be this HUGE thing. It was much, much smaller than I'd anticipated. They claim it has 590 calories with 31g of fat and 10g of saturated fat though, so maybe I've just become a fatso.

Secondly, I have to write something about the Jazz. Jerry Sloan is awesome. The Jazz roster is made up of ten players that were either drafted in the second round or undrafted. Talk about getting the most out of your roster. In fact, if you were to compare the starting 5 from the Jazz and the Nuggets(their current playoff opponent), you would see a huge disparity in their original draft position


JAZZ STARTERS

Deron Williams(3rd pick, 1st round)
Wesley Matthews(undrafted)
CJ Miles(34th pick overall, 2nd round)
Carlos Boozer(34th pick overall, 2nd round)
Kyrylo Fesenko(38th pick, 2nd round)

NUGGETS STARTERS

Chauncey Billups(3rd pick, 1st round)
Arron Afflalo(27th pick, 1st round)
Carmelo Anthony(3rd pick, 1st round)
Kenyon Martin(1st pick, 1st round)
Nene(7th pick, 1st round)

On top of this, the Jazz have two regular starters who were second round picks( Kirilenko, Okur) and their sixth man Paul Millsap is also a 2nd rounder. The Nuggets have Ty Lawson and JR Smith, two more 1st round pick who get significant minutes. In fact, the only player on the Nuggets that isn't a first round pick, and who gets regular playing time is Chris Andersen









Sweet!






So basically, the Jazz is a team filled with players that other teams didn't think too highly of, while the Nuggets team is filled with top draft picks. Just thought of that the other day.
