Markkanen playing in semipro league; Arizona's nextย
Arizonaโs lone basketball recruit, 7-foot-1-inchย Lauri Markkanen, completed his high school academic requirements at a basketball academy in Paterson, New Jersey, and has returned home to Finland. He is playing for HBA-Marsky, a semipro team, and is averaging 20.3 points, eighth in the league, after 18 games. Last week he told an online basketball reporter that it has snowed so much in Jyvaskyla, Finland, this year that it could cover a house.ย
