Lauri Markkanen is the most valuable player on the 2022-2023 Utah Jazz roster. Everyone wondered if he could continue his excellent EuroBasket play into the NBA this season. Short answer: Joo!!!
Markkanen was the 7th pick of the 2017 NBA draft with plenty of upside as a 7 footer who could move and shoot so well. After a rough start to his career with bad coaching in Chicago, he was a nice role player for Cleveland last season. But Will Hardy has unlocked his potential in his first year in Utah by maximizing his talents and skillset.
