2016 PF Lauri Markkanen considered one of Europe's best prospects
Posted Sep 8, 2015
As a starter for the 1998 Runnin' Utes, a former Atlanta Hawks rotation player and a longtime European Pro, Hanno Möttölä has earned some credibility when it comes to grading basketball talent. So take his word for it when he talks about Lauri Markkanen, a Finnish power forward who plays at Helsinki Academy where Möttölä is a coach. The 6-foot-10 forward and 2016 recruit isn't just one of the best hoops prospects in Finland.
