Lutheran won the state championship after a roller coaster season, and it was about balance and players stepping up in key moments. One of their players who made a difference in the second half of the season is 6’1 combo guard Makkai. Makkai is a player we did not know a ton about heading into the year, but his play not only got him on our radars, but he was a pivotal part of the championship run. He averaged 8.3 points 2.7 rebounds, and just under 2 steals a game. He had moments where he got hot from deep, he scored in bunches, and was the primary defender who slowed down guards. He did what was asked of him, and that is how you earn more minutes. Makkai finished off senior year with a bang.
