North Carolina, Arizona could be next stop for Finland's latest NBA hopeful, Lauri Markkanen
Posted Oct 16, 2015
The Nordic countries are among the few regions left around the world that haven't yet had an influx of professional basketball talent to America. Finland's Lauri Markkanen is trying to change that. Markkanen will pass on playing professionally next season and instead likely head to North Carolina, Arizona, or Utah. The 6-11, 220-pound 18-year-old developed his game despite the ice and snow in his native country.
