The Phoenix Suns need to upgrade at power forward and the name that keeps popping up as a target is Lauri Markkanen. James Jones should make it happen.
Since the departure of Amar’e Stoudemire in the summer of 2010, the Phoenix Suns have been searching for a high-quality power forward, and with some talk of Lauri Markkanen being a good fit, you wonder if the Suns try to land him this summer.
Lauri Markkanen was drafted with the 7th pick by the Minnesota Timberwolves in the 2017 NBA Draft before immediately being sent to the Chicago Bulls in a trade that involved Zach LaVine.
