Draft week was busy for the Jazz, who celebrated the official announcement of Carlos Boozer and deron williams as members of the U.S. Olympic basketball team, selected Ohio State center Kosta Koufos in the first round of the nba draft and were preparing to start contract extension talks with Williams.
