basketball, and it feels like a good time to go back and grade each Jazzman’s season. While nobody looks at a 51-loss season as some grand success, several players had promising individual campaigns, gave us flashes of a promising future, or some combination of both. The next man on our list is the Jazz's clear best player, Lauri Markkanen.
On the year, Markkanen averaged 23.2 points, 8.2 rebounds, and a career-high 2.0 assists per game. He remains one of the most potent shooters in the league, knocking down a ridiculous 39.9% of his 8 three-point attempts per game. Taking that a step further, Markkanen shot 41.4% on catch-and-shoot jumpers and 45.2% on wide-open threes. He is simply one of the best shooters in the entire league, and his mixture of height and athleticism makes him a consistent mismatch.
Markannen is the perfect piece for any team because he is an efficient player. You’re not going to waste possessions from him overdribbling and taking an ill-advised shot. He works within the offense and punishes defenses due to his movement. The only downside is that he relies on his teammates and the team’s offense to create looks for him. It’s not even a knock on Markkanen, nor does it make him less effective, but it’s just the context of how he thrives.
