Zona Zealots Chooses Pac-12 POW: Lauri Markkanen

Arizona Basketball fans have been surprised and dismayed this season as the first place Wildcats have been consistently overlooked for the Pac-12 Conference Player of the Week honors. Therefore, we thought we’d have a little fun and help make a case for Lauri Markkanen in case the Pac-12 is too busy to do a little research.

Both former coach Lute Olson and current coach Sean Miller emphasize teamwork, and we assume the coaches would rather have a win than weekly conference honors. As fans, we feel the same. But if the conference is going to hand out Player of the Week honors, let’s be honest about who should receive them.
