Arizona 7-foot freshman Lauri Markkanen ends his three-week UA summer school session Monday. He’ll return to Finland to join the Finnish U20 team for games in Serbia and Lithuania in the lead-up to the July 16-24 U20 European Championships. Markkanen’s summer competition, especially against coveted NBA prospects from Turkey and France, should significantly improve his game before he plays at Arizona.Â
