How to keep up with all five Utah Jazz players through their FIBA World Cup Preparation Games.
The Utah Jazz has five players getting ready for the FIBA World Cup right now. 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. Kessler’s involvement is up in the air after how little he played in Game 1 against Puerto Rico.
All five men have huge opportunities to showcase what they bring to the Jazz in the upcoming international tournament. Like all the fans, we’re just as interested in the five players, and we’re going to be doing all that we can to keep up with the amount of action provided.
