Lauri Markkanen’s rise with the Utah Jazz could serve as another reminder that young players develop at different paces and in different roles, a lesson that the Bulls and Patrick Williams should heed.
Still, Markkanen, who has four calendar years and almost three times the NBA experience as the 21-year-old Williams, is another example of what the right role and situation can do for a young player.
But Williams also has played too passively at times, prompting the coaching staff to repeatedly remind him how playing aggressively and impacting games doesn’t always require scoring. The following season bothered Markkanen enough that he wanted to be elsewhere, and he landed in Cleveland in the three-team trade that netted the Bulls a lottery-protected first-round pick from Portland plus Derrick Jones Jr.
