Its okay though, at least we have a 15 year old hanging around to remember these 'trivial details'. Am I right!?!?
Do we have a future superstar on the team?

That has yet to be seen. And argue all you want but KOC's record of drafting in 1 round is very crappy if you do not look at his last two years picks ( jury still out).

Will only answer over a date setting. PS: I like sushi.
PPS: An Albanian player (Dardan Berisha) dropped a game-winner against Kanter and the Turkish team in EuroBasket last year (he played with team Poland). But sure, absolutely ZERO Albanians know how to play basketball

He is not Albanian according to Polish Wikipedia. Son of Polish mother and Kosovian father, played basketball in his early career in Kosovo and then for Cibona Zagreb.

Are you daft? He was born and raised in Kosovo, and the first pro team he ever played for was in the Kosovo Basketball Superleague. He moved to Poland when he was 20 years old. Albanian is his first language, speaks it fluently, identifies himself as Albanian on interviews with Albanian journalists. He's only lived in Poland for 4 years. The fact that he acquired a Polish citizenship to play for the national team is completely irrelevant (he also has a Croatian one, which you won't be able to see on that garbage Polish wiki article). Keep grasping at straws though.

Ok lets get it clear - so Kosovo belonged to former Yugoslavia when he was born. How come then he is Albanian? He does not even have Albanian passport. His father is Kosovian and mother Polish - where Albania is here? ? Albania recognizes Kosovo as independent country, why you keep saying he is Albanian? And even if he would be Albanian that does not make Albania basketball country, lol. Former Yugoslavian republics are totally different story.
And I am not grasping at straws, you are the one avoiding simple questions - how you become fan of Utah Jazz and basketball in particular? Do you play basketball yourself? There is nothing personal.... Not sure why you avoiding those simple questions.

Both of my parents were born in Kosovo. My older brother was born in Kosovo, 3 years after Dardan, in the same city as Dardan in fact. We consider ourselves ethnic Albanians. The word is 'Shqiptar', which applies to both Albanians of Kosovo as well as Albanians of Albania. We speak the same Albanian language , we have the same Albanian culture. Clearly you do not know much about Albanian and Kosovar history, so I will cut this discussion short, and tell you that I am from the same country, nationality, and my family grew up in the same city as Dardan. Hell, Im sure I could ask my father if he knew of a Berisha family from Pej, who had a talented son who played basketball, and he might have an answer for me. As a result, I have disproved your whole 'who from your country even knows how to PLAY basketball' argument, which was foolish to begin with.
I am avoiding these simple questions as it seems to be pressing you, which makes me laugh.
