The Jazz agreed to terms with Elson

[NCJazz]

Elson probably has more upside than Evans and Hayward combined. GREAT signing.

All we need now is NColorado Jazz to comment on how crazy you is.

Elson = Foster?

So why isn't the Trib or DesNews reporting it?

It's already been posted here at the end of the "Career" section.

Definitely like this better than Mbenga. He understands what a role player is and is fine with it.
When healthy, he can play D and rebound, even block some shots. Probably the best big out there right now...

Was Elson on the Spurs championship squad?

If we was we get to hear from KOC about his championship experience, much as he touted how valuable Jason Hart's experience playing with a "winning ball-club" for his 15-some-odd games in San Antonio. Oddly enough, that was the exact same line people began saying around these forums.

So why isn't the Trib or DesNews reporting it?

The Trib posted a report on Elson about 3 hours ago, although it was just in the blog. Francisco Elson probably isn't big enough news to warrant a full article on a "breaking news" basis.

Francisco Elson probably isn't big enough news to warrant a full article on a "breaking news" basis.

After an entire summer of speculation Francisco Elson has decided to take his talents to Salt Lake.

I would have picked Louis Edmundson as the best big left actually... he probably wanted more money than Jazz could afford given that we're over the luxury tax...

*sigh* I was hoping we could get Edmundson but not to be...

Edmundson is a fantastic player, no doubt.

Edmundson is a fantastic player, no doubt.

In a draft class that included Hall of Famers Dominique Wilkins and James Worthy, and former All-Stars and All-NBA team players Terry Cummings and Lafayette Lever (who almost averaged a triple-double over the course the 1988-89 season, with 19.8 points, 9.3 rebounds, and 7.9 assists), there's one NBA bust that stands alone.

It's not Clark Kellogg, the eighth overall pick of the Indiana Pacers, who was selected for the NBA All-Rookie Team, but was only able to play three full seasons, and portions of two others due to chronic knee problems that forced him to retire. But the biggest bust of the 1982 NBA draft was Keith Edmonson.

Edmonson, a 6'5" guard with great shooting ability, led the Purdue Boilermakers to the 1980 NCAA Final Four, and during his senior year, scored 21.3 points per game and was named a Academic All-American.

Edmonson was selected as the 10th overall pick in the 1982 NBA draft by the Atlanta Hawks. However, Edmonson had an extremely disappointing career, averaging just six points in 87 games played during his three year career with the Hawks, the San Antonio Spurs, and the Denver Nuggets.

Edmonson starred in college, but with the brighter spotlight in the NBA, the lights went out fast on Edmonson's NBA career.
