Lauri Markkanen may have found his new home in the Cleveland Cavaliers. The 24-year-old, 7-foot tall player originally from Finland shared some of those thoughts at his recent press conference, via Chris Fedor of Cleveland.com, and it’s clear Markkanen is excited about this new opportunity.

There are many reasons to be excited as Cavs fans with Markkanen coming to the Cavs this next season. He’s young, like most of the Cavaliers team, he’s an offensive juggernaut, having the talent to knock down three-pointers from the outside and now he’s potentially a starter for the team and if not he’ll be that 6th man that can change the outcome of games because the Cavs will have the advantage.
