Le Saviez-vous ?
Born in Siilinjärvi, Finland — a town of about 20,000 people that produced an NBA All-Star.
His father Pekka played professionally in Finland, meaning basketball is literally in the family blood.
He was the first Finnish-born player to be selected in the lottery of the NBA Draft.
Teammates in Utah call him 'Lauri Chill' for his impossibly calm demeanor — even on game-winning shots.
