Lauri Markkanen Hype & Appreciation Thread

[The Midnight]

Honestly, I thought Ainge acquired him in order to trade him to further maximize the haul for Mitchell. Now I hope the Jazz keep him.

No one thought he would be this good.

Yeah he's a keeper man. I mean he has more upsides than Hayward if you ask me. Taller, can play more positions and the 3pt shooting is more consistent & legit. Both can attack the rim.

EXTEND THIS DUDE NOW

His dunks remind me of a younger Ben Simmons....you know, from back when Simmons could really play.

That 40inch vertical, the height, the speed and control pays off. They should feed him to the basket until they overcommit.

Lauri has so much potential.

 

[The Midnight]

I'm kind of hyped, but also ready to be let down since he certainly wont be as good as he is in Eurobasket

You were saying? Hahaha.. nah i’m also surprised he’s this good this early.

 

[FrenchJazzFa]

He is great, and at that stage he still don't shoot 3 well this year. If he go back to his nomal %, he may be an all star.

He and Victor are going to be tough to handle.

Seems to have at least 38 inch vert, what with banging his ear to the back-board.
