Lauri Markkanen 2018-19 Player Outlook
6 years agoChicago Bull power forward Lauri Markkanen fell into a nice position last season as he was pretty much handed the starting power forward position after Bobby Portis and Nikola Mirotic got into it at practice leading to both payers being suspended. Markkanen took full advantage of this opportunity as he put up a line of 15.2 points, 7.5 rebounds, 0.6 steals, 0.6 blocks with 2.1 makes from distance. Markkanen will look to continue this unique mix of talents in his second year where we could see the Finnish youngster log some minutes at the center position when the Bulls go small with newcomer Jabari Parker in the mix playing at the power forward spot. Markkanen has some tremendous upside and will be picking up some valuable experience this summer as suits up for the Finnish National squad. We can almost guarantee a top-50 player comes season end in the fantasy realm of things for the second year gunner.
