Lauri Markkanen stats since Dec 1

[HermanG]

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.

For this last part, I think we need to embrace the fact that we wont upset any of the top teams as currently constructed.

To contend for a title, you need a dominant starting 5 and a good bench. We have a good bench but our starting 5 is just way too far from being dominant... esespecially defensively.

 

[Coach Ellis]

Eh. The Jazz are limited and other teams are professionals too. The hot start was always going to cool back down. They’ve lost their last 4 games by an average of 3 points - one or two possessions. They still have a lot of potential for this season.

With that said, I still think the Jazz should be in asset acquisition mode this year - so they should absolutely look to move Conley, Gay, THT and Olynyk and be open to a good deal being offered for Clarkson, Beasley, Vando and/or Sexton.

At any rate, I’d like to see them bench or buy out Rudy Gay after the trade deadline if he’s not included in a bigger deal somewhere.

Lauri don't need to worry about money. We just payed a one dimensional defensive big 200m iirc

Lauri’s last 21 games:

25.9 PPG and 8.5 RPG

177/332 from the field (53.3%)
100/167 from 2 (59.9%)
77/165 from 3 (46.7%)
112/126 from FT (88.9%)

 

[Tremendous Upside]

Lauri's 3 ball is falling apart. Been expecting it as he's a streaky shooter like Beasley, but I'm not sure we win any games if Markkanen shoots 32% or something from the perimeter.

In his last 17 games (Dec 1 to present) Lauri is averaging:

27.8 PPG and 8.6 RPG with a 68.3 TS%
51.4% from field on 17.2 FGA per game
42.9% from three on 8.2 3PTA per game
91.9% from free throw on 72 attempts

It is ****ing ridiculous how good he’s been.

Ya, those are pretty much guaranteed first team all nba numbers. Cant do much better than those numbers.

Things definitely feel much harder for Lauri now. Much less easy looks at the rim, but he's getting a lot more shooting fouls drawn to compensate for all the extra defensive attention.

Lauri is also 112 3PM to tie Donovan's single season Jazz record. If Lauri plays the final 38 games he will need to average roughly 2.95 3's per game.

that signing was like right after the owner took the keys to the Jazz. It also was before Danny was here. I don't think Danny would hesitate to max Marky either though if he is still playing at this level in 25 when he needs paid, especially if they are winning playoff series' and are contenders by that 24-25 seasons end but that is probably not realistic without win now help over slowly rebuilding through the draft.

Beasley only needs 97 to break the record which is roughly 2.6 per game for the last 38 games. He likely breaks it as he’s averaging 3.1 3PM per game right now.

I mean, keep in mind Lauri is doing what he's doing in his first year in a starring role. He's doing it with good teammates, but not great teammates. A lot of the best players on the Jazz who make others better are aging/declining (Conley/Olynyk).
