It says something about the Utah Jazz’s summer that Nickeil Alexander-Walker — part of the team since all the way back in February — is now one of the longest-tenured players on the roster.
Minnesota Timberwolves guard Leandro Bolmaro drives past Chicago Bulls guard Ayo Dosunmu during the second half of an NBA basketball game Sunday, April 10, 2022, in Minneapolis. The Bulls won 124-120.
“The Finnisher” played college ball at Arizona, then was drafted No. 7 overall by the Wolves in 2017 and immediately traded to the Bulls as part of that ill-fated Jimmy Butler deal. Last year, he signed a four-year deal as part of a three-team sign-and-trade. The 7-foot, 240-pounder wound up being part of a super-sized Cavs frontcourt, also featuring Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley. The 25-year-old has averaged 15.4 points and 6.8 rebounds over five seasons. He shot 40.
Like Markkanen, Johnson is a forward who is a former lottery pick following a strong collegiate career at Arizona. His NBA career has been far more tumultuous, however. The 26-year-old, who was the other player involved in the Beverley-THT trade, had all but washed out of the league, on account of being less athletic than expected and a poor 3-point shooter for his career.
