NBC SportsLauri Markkanen played 29 minutes in Thursday's exhibition against the Mavericks, tallying 26 points (9-of-19 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), seven rebounds, one assist, and four 3-pointers.

After struggling with his shot in Monday's exhibition against the Rockets, Markkanen was much better in Dallas. This is the production level he's capable of and why he tends to be no worse than a third-round pick in most drafts. The concern for fantasy managers is a potential shutdown if the Jazz aren't fighting for a postseason berth. But that should not be used as a reason to let him slip out of the third round.

NBC SportsLauri Markkanen struggled with his shot on Monday but still contributed 17 points (3-of-11 FGs, 11-of-13 FTs), four rebounds and one assist in a 122-113 win over the Rockets.

After having no issues against the New Zealand Breakers on Friday, Markkanen had an off-night on Monday. He struggled from the floor but still led the team in scoring by making a big impact from the free throw line. Markkanen should be drafted in the first few rounds in drafts this year, and there is no reason to be scared off by a poor preseason performance. He won't struggle like this often.
