Lauri Markkanen is already one of the best players to ever play in Utah, as most Jazz fans know. He has been the subject of trade rumors, as he is a great player that other teams would love to have on their roster.
Lauri's three-plus seasons in Salt Lake have had some amazing highs, such as tonight's 51-point performance against the Phoenix Suns, which made Jazz history.
Not since Karl Malone patrolled the paint have the Jazz had a 50-point performance in a regular-season game. The Mailman delivered 56 in a game against the Golden State Warriors on April 7, 1998.
