Three thoughts on the Utah Jazz’s 120-119 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder from Salt Lake Tribune beat writer Andy Larsen. TakeNote
Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen reacts after a dunk against the Oklahoma City Thunder during the second half of an NBA basketball game Thursday, Feb. 23, 2023, in Salt Lake City. Three thoughts on the Utah Jazz’s 120-119 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder from Salt Lake Tribune beat writer Andy Larsen.He was basically considered a floor spacer coming in to this season.
Let me ask you this: is there any other player in Jazz history that’s making these two plays? Andrei Kirilenko I don’t think would have dribbled through this contact, though maybe he comes closest. But I’m relatively confident that Markkanen is the most versatile 7-footer in Jazz history. Regardless of why, it’s wholly remarkable. Lauri Markkanen is one of the best players in the NBA, and the Jazz have team control of him on perhaps the league’s best contract for two more years.You’ll remember the problems the Jazz have had in perimeter defense over the last few years, and Kris Dunn is an extremely cheap way to add one of the best perimeter defenders in the NBA.
