The EuroBasket tournament is going through its friendlies right now, and the Utah Jazz have some good representation in Lauri Markkanen and Jusuf Nurkic. In the former's case, it took him no time to establish that he is unquestionably a star. In so doing, Markkanen proved that the Jazz are right to believe that their best course of action is to keep him.
Markkanen's numbers in Finland's friendly (preseason) matchup against Belgium were nothing short of spectacular. The Finnisher put up 48 points on seven triples to go with nine rebounds and three steals. He left nothing to interpretation: he's a star.
