Most scouts would tell you Kirilenko was about as thick as a coat hanger, yet he had the height and athletic ability for scouts to deem him an "upside player." He was 18 years old, had a raw game, and most of all an underdeveloped body.
Kirilenko showed incredible ability and as my dad and I drove out of the SLCC campus, it was clear to both of us that the Jazz had struck gold with this unknown skin-and-bones Russian.
Kirilenko's sophomore campaign was an improvement, even though Coach Jerry Sloan tried him out as the sixth man instead of as a starter.

Analysis: Andrei Kirilenko is just like his nickname (AK-47): A shooter that will put the ball in the basket, a player who will shoot the ball out of other players’ hands as he swipes the pill, or shoot your shot back at you as he stuffs the crap out of it.
Like Jefferson, Kirilenko was never an injury question until the 2004-05 season, playing a full season his rookie year, 80 games his second year, and 78 games his third year.
Kirilenko is still frail enough for one to think he’s not going to be a fast healer or tough it out and play when he’s in pain, but who really knows?
