It actually was only Lauri Markkanen’s sixth double-double of the season but it came at an opportune time …
Another double-double for Lauri Markkanen! #MarchMadness pic.twitter.com/N1l7KhD8zw

With all due respect, I am of the opinion Kadeem Allen and Alkins have done that because Markkanen’s been a lottery pick all along.
Through two games of the NCAA Tournament, Lauri Markkanen is improving his draft status more than any other Wildcat

NBA scouts must have salivated over that finish by Kadeem Allen. Over the last 5 games he has played his strongest of the whole season.
