That includes the team’s face, Lauri Markkanen, their former sixth-man of the year in Jordan Clarkson, one of their best bigs in Kelly Olynyk, the defensive dynamo in Walker Kessler, and the potential rotation member Simone Fontecchio.
Markkanen is the face of Team Finland and will look to carry the team to heights its never seen before. Olynyk is going to likely be a major rotation piece for Team Canada, while Jordan Clarkson and Simone Fontecchio are likely to be the stars of their respective teams as well.
