Lauri Markkanen stats since Dec 1

[Elizah Huge]

Lauri was an absolute beast in December. Here are his stats in 12 games total:

26.8 PPG and 8.5 RPG

103/193 from the field (53.4%)

49/101 from 3 (48.5%)

54/92 from 2 (58.7%)

67/74 from FT (90.5%)

Here is to a great 2023 and more Lauri domination.

Hopefully the Jazz trade him somewhere where he has a chance to win instead of being wasted surrounded by volume chuckers and an inept coach.

I mean, we're only halfway through the first year of a rebuild. It's going to take time to add another star to go with Lauri and build a winning roster around them. We need to have some patience.

Unquestionably an all star. I would think he should be in the running for western conference player of the month as well and should probably be the front runner for most improved player.

If we were giving minutes to younger players instead of stuffing most of them in the doghouse, then sure I'd agree.

We give way too many minutes to washed up vets to call this a rebuild.

In Finnish media, there has been lately a trend that consist following aspects:

A) Coverage on Lauri's daily efforts seems to exploding
B) Awe for his totally unprecedented balling has reached to a new level
C) Daily sports articles have formed a new standard format in line with: "Lauri Markkanen was again the best player on a court when his team Utah Jazz lost in its [add increasing ordinal number here] time in row."
D) Lauri has transcended above some kind of mythical level in Finnish basketball, while his team is not
E) Lauri's apparent shortcomings are still handled relatively objectively, and talked on rather matter-of-fact manner, but no article ever undermine his divine efforts: He is the celestial measuring stick of everything about the Finnish basketball, now and most likely very long time to come
F) A random non-sport following granny from backwoods recognize Lauri's name these days

Happy New Year! Everyone!

You don't know how rebuilds work do you?

If they involve letting washed up vets soak up most of the minutes and freeze out our best scorer while our young talent rots on the bench, then no, I don't.

In the incredibly microscopic short view sure.

In the incredibly microscopic short view sure.

I don't actually want the Jazz to trade Markkanen.

I just want them to **** or get off the toilet, instead of wasting time with the Rudy Gay/Kelly Olynyk/Mike Conley/Jordan Clarkson show.

Nice but not enough nice. You guys need of learn from Pilipinos. If Jordan Clarkson decides to run for Senator of the Philippines he would win lol.

We do have a relatively well working political system, thanks for asking. That invludes that in most cases pro athletes are not elected as MPs. Except for maybe some populist parties. We do understand that they are good at their particular sport but it doesnt make them worthy decision makers for the nation.

Instead we have the youngest female prime minister who likes to dance and I love it.

But yeah, Lauri was long known as februlauri for the one full month of elite-level play. The general consensus was that his cealing is high but he likely cannot do it consistently. In hindsight the februlauri was more of a result of usage. Now Lauri has shown that he can produce at this level consistently.

These losses have mainly been very close ones for the Jazz with b2b heart wrenching losses. I do think they will be able to turn it around at some point. There seems to be a lot of things that they have just stopped doing right sinse the beginning of the season. I am confident they will turn it over. Ofcourse, its a possibility that Ainge will do some dramatic moves to a direction or the other. As it is right now, they do have the tools to climb to playoff contention.
