Drop highlights of Jazz players (current or former).

Lauri Markkannen just dropped a 34-10 game to send his team to the group of 16. Will post the highlights when they drop.

Fontecchio has been playing great as well.

Gobert was dominant in his win over Bosnia, a +27 and had a highlight drop step that put Nurkic on his *** to seal the game. (Also maybe sign Dzanan Musa, he's been playing well)
 
not Jazz related but... Vezenkov killing it this FIBA Euro. Too bad he doesn't seem interested in going to the NBA.

I've always liked Musa. He was really young when he joined the nets and just needed time to develop and it never happened there. He has great size though and a solid skillset. If we are going to take chances on guys then he is exactly who we should be looking at.

sadly he just signed a 2-year with Real Madrid, a top euroleague team. He had an excellent previous season, and has progressed considerably from his Brooklyn days. I want him too.

Markkanen is the 3rd leading scorer and Fontecchio is the 6th leading scorer.

But the story of the tournament in my mind is Aleksandar Vezenkov of Bulgaria - he was a second round pick of the Nets in 2017, but i believe the Kings have his rights currently. Second leading scorer (behind Giannis), second in efficiency (the way it's measured in fiba) behind Giannis, and is leading the tournament in rebounds. You're talking about a 3/4 type who is strong enough to lead this tournament in rebounds and he's shooting 43% from three on 7 attempts per game. He's been the second best player in the tournament overall. when you consider the talent in that tournament, that is insane. dude is a beast. need to get him over here.

Isn't he incredibly unathletic? I remember the Vezenkov draft hype being that he was hyper talented but his body never projected to be NBA quality.
 
I think there's a lot of players in Europe who could conceivably make an NBA team if the circumstances were right. But there's sure a big difference between them and those players who are legit NBA rotation players/starters, like Markkanen (and hopefully Fontecchio).
