Andrei Kirilenko is one of the top five rookies in the league, according to Ric Bucher of ESPN.
"Struggling mightily to fit into the Jazz's precise sets while overcoming a language barrier, the Russian made up for it all with surprising athleticism, toughness and all-around skills. Shooting range needs work but gets to the free-throw line more than any other rookie (five attempts/game)."
The Jazz's other rookie, Jarron Collins, also gets some ink.
"I thought there was supposed to be a huge difference between Jason and Jarron Collins. Wasn't Jason supposed to be the better one? "
