Jazz Announces 2009 Summer League Camp Roster
Kosta Koufos to be joined by draft picks Eric Maynor and Goran Suton.

SALT LAKE CITY (June 30, 2009) – Utah Jazz general manager Kevin O’Connor announced today that 2008 first-round selection Kosta Koufos will join 2009 draft picks Eric Maynor and Goran Suton in headlining the team’s mini-camp in preparation for the 2009 Orlando Pro Summer League. Camp is scheduled to open Wednesday, July 1 at RDV SportsPlex in Maitland, Fla. and will run through Sunday, July 5.

Also expected to participate in camp are former Jazz training camp invitee Kevin Lyde, Utah Flash players Andre Ingram and Kevin Kruger, and former Utah State Aggie Gary Wilkinson. The rest of the roster includes former NBA players James Augustine, Cedric Bozeman and Justin Reed, in addition to rookies Jim Baron, Josh Duncan, Wes Mathews, Reyshawn Terry and Larry Turner. Charlotte Bobcats second-round pick Derrick Brown will also compete for the Jazz entry since the Bobcats are not fielding a summer league team of their own. The full Jazz roster and bios are attached.

The Jazz will play five games in the 2009 Orlando Pro Summer League at RDV Sportsplex from July 6-10. In addition to the Jazz, the 15-game event will feature the host Orlando Magic along with the Boston Celtics, Indiana Pacers, Oklahoma City Thunder, and a split squad between the New Jersey Nets and Philadelphia 76ers. The Jazz will open the summer league schedule vs. Boston at 5 p.m. MT on July 6.

Due to space limitations at RDV Sportsplex, the event is not open to the public and will be open only to the media and professional team/league personnel. Box scores, game recaps and cumulative statistics from the event will be made available by visiting www.utahjazz.com.
