BART KOFOED

NO. 147

WHO HE WAS: A fifth-round pick out of Nebraska-Kearney in 1987, Kofoed was the most productive member of a draft class that included Jose Ortiz and Billy Donovan. His Jazz career ended after a fight during a New Year's Eve party resulted in Bobby Hansen's broken cheekbone.

WHY HE'S NO. 147: He averaged only 1.4 points in 55 games over two seasons, but Kofoed appeared in 10 games during the Jazz's 1988 playoff run.

LAMAR GREEN

NO. 146

WHO HE WAS: An orginal New Orleans Jazzman, Green came from Phoenix in the expansion draft and left as possibly the losingest player in franchise history. The Jazz were 1-16 when they waived the forward.

WHY HE'S NO. 146: It was not his fault, at least from a rebounding standpoint. Green shot 34 percent from the field and scored just 3.8 points, but he also averaged 7.3 rebounds in 18.7 minutes.
