UNC eyeing 6'10 Finland prospect Lauri Markkanen
Posted Feb 15, 2015
Lauri Markkanen is a very skilled 6-10, 214-pound face-up big man who can shoot and has played very well at the Basketball Without Borders camp. He is considering entering an American college for 2016. “I finish my high school in Finland, maybe a year and a half left, and then I’m going to college,” he said. Markkanen said North Carolina is “the biggest one” recruiting him, and that Florida, Texas A&M and St. John’s are also in the mix.
