"With the selection of 6-foot-11 Turkish big man Enes Kanter in Thursday night's NBA Draft, the Utah Jazz may seem to have an abundance of big men.

After all, with Al Jefferson, Derrick Favors, Paul Millsap and Mehmet Okur already vying for minutes at the center and power forward positions, the Jazz seem to have a logjam of bigs that wouldn't offer much playing time to the incoming rookie.

But Jazz general manager Kevin O'Connor doesn't see it that way.

"It's like starting pitching. You can't get enough of that," O'Connor said. "Big guys are tough to come by. We certainly moved Paul over to play some 3 (small forward) at times, and we play (against) big lineups like the Lakers and some of the other big lineups, and (Kanter) may see a little more time with those. Maybe it's good for competition."

Jazz head coach Ty Corbin agreed.

"Last year we finished the season a little undermanned at the big spots because of injuries," he said, "and Memo is still rehabbing and hopefully he'll be back and ready to play. I think this kid is going to come in and compete for some time on the floor."
