A little taste of Markkanen...

I'll take this kid in a heart beat.

 

[Ozheelfan]

Gotta agree with you Gary.
Holy cow! That is one helluva highlights mix.

 

[grillheel]

Thanks Gary! Reminds me of Tyler Zeller a little!

 

[Bur-Heel]

Probably the best shot we got at any of the recruits we are targeting!!..and I love everything about his game!!

 

[Archer2]

Very skilled young man, keeping fingers crossed.

 

[Tom79]

Agree with all above...I particularly liked the kid getting a blocked shot on the move 12 ft from the basket early in the video, he can hit from range, runs the floor, catch and shoot either hand close in..lots to like but the best was the "pointing" to the assist man. He may already be suited for UNC...

Absolutely love this kid, highly skilled, has been taught really well. IMO he plays and contributes at a strong level as a freshman. I am beginning to feel that outside of Giles & Bam, & Bradley that this kid is the next big man in my pecking order.

 

[imajericho]

I would be very excited if he was a Heel. Only thing he needs to work on probably is his jump shot mechanics.

 

[Tom79]

Sent this to my Wisc Badger buddy, he's thinking he is a little bit like Frank...
And I sure wouldn't mind a 4 year guy that becomes a bit like Frank.

 

[mikeirbyusa]

He is coming to visit!

I see him more as a Wilcher upgrade, meaning I think he will defend as well as be a force on the offensive end. He is that stretch 4 that so many covet, like Kelly was for duke. Heck of a weapon , don't think we have really had that classic stretch 4, closest we had IMO was Jawad but to me Jawad was always more of a long 3 than stretch 4, kinda like Rey Terry was.

incredibly skilled obviously needs to get stronger, I see Cody Zeller as a Freshmen

 

[RoseHeel]

According to Scout, he's visiting on October 13th and 14th. Hope Roy can pull him in!

From this video I'd say he's even more skilled/dynamic than Cody was at that age. Zeller may have been a bit stronger.
If he was in HS in the States he'd be much higher on the recruiting lists.
My only worry is that Arizona is on his final 3 and TJ Leaf just decommitted from them

It was love at first sight with me and this kid. I think we're in the lead. Here's to hoping.

Oh, and I was about to shoot myself in the face if that horrendous music had gone on any longer.

I know Miller is putting the full-court press on him, but I'm still liking Roy's chances.

Just listened to the podcast. Clint reckons it'll all come down to the visit with this kid and I'm one fan hoping its a really, really good visit.

Hope Marcus is his host.
