Say goodbye to Markkanen

Arizona Wildcats Basketball


Lauri Markkanen declared for the NBA Draft today.

So long, Lauri. It was nice having you around.

Markkanen averaged 15.2 points a game and 7.2 rebounds per game, made the Pac-12 All-Tournament team this year and was a third team All-American.

The last 11 minutes of Arizona's Sweet Sixteen game against Xavier, Lauri hardly touched the ball and didn't get a shot off. Wish we had those 11 minutes back.

Good luck to you, Lauri. You were one of the good ones to pass through McKale.
