Former Olympus High School player Nick Paulos talks with the media as the Utah Jazz work out six more prospects Wednesday, June 3, 2015, at the the Zions Back Basketball Center in Salt Lake City.

“It was kind of a surreal moment to see Utah Jazz across my chest and to come here and work out.”

SALT LAKE CITY — Nicholas Paulos grew up in Utah. He played basketball about 10 miles away from EnergySolutions Arena. And, yes, he was pretty dang fond of the local NBA team.

On Wednesday, the former Olympus High basketball standout got a once-in-a-lifetime moment to work out for the team he used to cheer for.
