Linda Hamilton of the DESERET NEWS writes, "The Utah Jazz figured they were drafting a good shooter when they selected Morris Almond of Rice University with the No. 25 pick in the June NBA Draft. The 2007 draft class agrees. In balloting released Friday by NBA.com, which conducted voting among the 44 rookies who attended last week's NBA Rookie Photo Shoot, Almond was voted the No. 1 shooter in this year's draft class by his peers. Not every rookie responded to every question, according to NBA.com, but Almond received nine votes to runners-up Demetris Nichols of the New York Knicks (eight) and Marco Belinelli (five) of the Golden State Warriors in answer to the poll question, 'Which NBA rookie is the best shooter?'"
