Kosta Koufos will be home with his family in Canton when he learns his fate in the NBA draft tonight.

Koufos, 7-1, just finished his freshman season at Ohio State and is a 2007 Canton GlenOak graduate. He is the closest thing to a local player in the draft this year, although Ohio State’s Othello Hunter also is in the draft pool. Koufos said he didn’t know which team will select him, but he’s not worried about it.

“Location is not a factor,” he said Wednesday, 24 hours from the start of the draft. “I’m just blessed to be in this situation.”
Koufos did work out for the Cavaliers, the team he fol lowed as a boy, and he would seem to be the sort of player the team would like to draft and bring along as a backup to the aging Zydrunas Ilgauskas. But most draft observers don’t expect his name to still be on the board when the Cavs pick 19th. He tested bigger and stronger than many scouts expected, and his workouts were impressive enough that he reportedly moved into the upper echelon of big players available.

Asked if he thought he was a better player now than when he left Ohio State a few months ago, Koufos said absolutely. “I raised the bar mentally and physically,” he said.

No matter what happens tonight, he thinks he will be ready.

“I’m very excited about the process, and I’m looking forward to the draft,” he said. “I played very well in the workouts. I have no regrets.”
