Lauri Markkanen is coming off a pretty abysmal season that stemmed from a back injury and playing for a team whose primary interests got in the way of his playing time. Since the EuroBasket started its friendlies, Markkanen has looked like his old self, but for Utah Jazz fans to have faith in him again, he has to prove he can keep up this level of production when the tournament actually begins.
Markkanen has been on a tear during the EuroBasket preseason matchups, and that only continued yesterday when he put up yet another dominant statline, this time against Poland.
