48 points in 25 minutes! The new generation of FIBA killer, it would be a pity that the Warriors don t use Bogekumingga to replace him
4:44pm, 9 August 2025Basketball
On August 9, the Asian Cup has started recently, and the European Cup warm-up match is also in progress. In the four warm-up matches held today: Germany easily defeated Slovenia 103-89, Schroeder did not play, and Doncic scored 19 points and 5 assists. Finland beat Belgium 105-62, and we will mainly talk about Markanin later. France 74-67 Britain, even if Gobert, Vinban and Fournier did not play, they were still very strong. Lithuania 91-70 Turkey, Turkey was trying the lineup in this game, and Shen Jing only played for 7 minutes.
The one who performed the best in these four games is Markanen. He played for 25 minutes, made 17 of 24 shots in the game, scored 48 points, 9 rebounds, 3 steals and 1 block, and 48 points were also set for the Finnish national team's single-game scoring record. You should know that Finland's single-game scoring record was also maintained by him. In the 222 European Cup, Markanen scored 43 points in the game against Croatia, which is terrible.
The reason why Markkanin was able to perform such a violent performance is, on the one hand, because he has absolute ball rights in the Finnish men's basketball team, and on the other hand, he is very good at playing in the international league. I believe everyone is familiar with the International League. Those who are good at breaking through and killing in the NBA may not be practical. Only those shooters who are good at shooting and have both ball and no ball skills are easy to use. Look at Durant and Anthony, they are easier to score than James in the FIBA.
This is not the first time that Markkanen has played so well. In the previous World Cup, Markkanen averaged 24.8 points, 8 rebounds and 1 block, with a shooting percentage of up to 50%. In this World Cup, he averaged third in the league in scoring, second only to Doncic and Clarkson, and he averaged only 26 minutes per game. However, because Finland's overall strength is not good, Marca has not been able to lead the team to success so far. It is too difficult to succeed in the International League by relying solely on individual combat.
Speaking of Markkanen, the Jazz will most likely try to trade and send him away next season. First of all, the Jazz set the goal of reconstruction. They chose Espery and Clayton, both of whom have the potential to become the cornerstone. The team is probably going to build a team around them + Kessler. For this reason, the team has traded to send Collins and Sexton away and gave up Clarkson. The team has only Kessler and Markkanen remain in the team for the five previous starters.
Kesler is young, he is only 24 years old, and can grow up with Bailey and Clayton, but Markanen is already 28 years old, and the timeline is not synchronized. By the time Bailey and the others reach the peak, Marca has entered the end of his career, so I think the Jazz will try to trade and send him away. Although Markkanen is the level of an ordinary star in the NBA, his positioning makes many strong teams interested in him. After all, he has both ball-less ability, and his shooting is also top-notch.
Marca averaged 19 points, 5.9 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game last season. This is because the team deliberately reduced his ball rights and playing time, for fear that he would lead the team to win. After all, the team's goal is to make a bad move, so they also found various reasons to let Marca off. Last season, Marca averaged 31.4 minutes per game. In the previous two seasons, Marca's performance was perfect. He scored an All-Star level:
23-24 season averaged 23.2 points, 8.2 rebounds and 2 assists, with a three-point shooting percentage of 39.9%, 25.6 points, 8.6 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game in the 22-23 season, and a three-point shooting percentage of 39.1%. Markanen can play in the 3rd and 4th position, and his height of 2.13 meters gives him a natural advantage in playing in these two positions. In addition, he can also play the role of five small centers in some games. Marca can bring more lineup matching to the team, so it is also very popular among various teams.
The Warriors were very interested in him before. Marca's style of play is suitable for the Warriors system, so the Warriors have also pursued him. The team discussed a deal with the Jazz. At that time, the Jazz asked for it as the first round pick, Kumingga, Bojem and Moody. As a result, the Warriors were unwilling to give Bojem, and they could agree to everything else. They stated that Bojem was not a seller, and the deal was also broken. It is estimated that the Warriors would regret not completing the deal now.
After all, Bogem has just looked at the past few seasons and has not grown to the core level. The reason why Cole likes him is because of his panacea and his enough fighting style, which can give the team positive help in some aspects, but to be honest, he does not play much role in the team, which is much worse than Marca. If Markkanen enters the free market, it is estimated that the Spurs, the Bucks and the Thunder will be interested in him, and even the Warriors may pursue him again.
In terms of Marca's ability and his functionality, he is probably able to exchange multiple first-round picks for the Jazz. Having said that, what do you want to say about Markkanin now? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
