Key player for the Utah Jazz
After completely emptying Utah’s roster, the focus and direction of the franchise has completely changed. Which doesn’t have to be entirely negative, especially when the organization has arrived Lauri Markkanenone of the most intriguing talents in the league.
The Finn has the perfect combination of height and mobility that allow him to cause disruption to opposing defenses almost without looking for it. Furthermore, it comes from being the First scorer of Eurobasket with his country’s best result in the competition for almost 50 years, which is no accident.
In Cleveland, Markkanen had already proven that he was underutilized on the Bulls and just needed a chance to shine. Now with the Utah Jazz it’s not that he’ll have a chance, it’s that he’ll have a blank canvas to take off for good.
If there is a strong candidate for win the most improved player award this is Lauri Markkanen. Utah won’t have to win many games, but their numbers will be high enough to turn heads.
The story ahead for the Utah Jazz in 2022-2023
The main consequence of the change in goals for the Utah Jazz was that they have a huge number of future draft picks but that their roster lacks balance or meaning. In the group led by Will Hardy, the veterans coincide who could be in a feud such as Conley, Clarkson or Gay and promising children like Markkanen, Sexton or Horton-Tucker.
So the story going forward for them from Salt Lake City this campaign is when they start to break up the squad and start moving their most attractive players in trade chooses of the design. A sensible decision given the circumstances and one that will see them focus on the 2023-2024 campaign sooner rather than later.
