Lauri hands down and he wants to play here

Better player: peak Hayward or peak Lauri?

To date, peak Hayward was better. His ability to create for himself and others as well as play defense made him more valuable.

But Lauri hopefully has a lot of time with us and will overtake him.

For those worried about Nurkic taking playing time from young dudes, no worries.

Bosnia coach calls out Jusuf Nurkic over poor shape

Bosnia and Herzegovina’s prep games for the EuroBasket are going from bad to worse. In Sarajevo’s Skenderija arena, the national team suffered a convincing 102-90 defeat to Montenegro, who dominated from start to finish.

basketnews.com

“[Jusuf] Nurkic is out of shape and can barely run,” [coach] Beciragic said of the NBA center, who scored 15 points in his team's latest losing effort.

In an interview about a month ago Nurkic told how playing for the national team gives him extra motivation compared to NBA games. If this is the extra motivated Nurkic, then I am not sure if anybody want to see the "normal" Nurkic in the coming season.

OH Is that what this is?

Better player: peak Hayward or peak Lauri?

As much as I’d like to say Lauri… he only really did two things better, score and rebound and he’s 5 inches taller. Hayward basically did everything else better

He might be this season's tank commander.

He might be this season's tank commander.

I can see him suffering a season ending injury within the first 10 games.

Lauri has never ruined my 4th of July BBQ so he is better, hands down.

Being that scoring and rebounding are the most important stats for that position, that seems to infer that Lauri is better, no?

Not like Hayward was a defensive stalwart. He was a better passer but that's still 2/3 categories for Lauri...

Hayward was very solid on D, better than Lauri by a decent margin.

But that’s all he did. Hayward did pretty much everything and he was a really good defender

Also scorers are dime a dozen, hell if you played Brice 30 min a game he could easily score you 20 a game. Imo

and we'll lose by 40, so I'll take it

 

[The Jazz Wonderbra]

Finland-Belgium 105-62
Lauri 25min, 48p, 17/24, 2p 10/11, 3p 7/13, FT 7/8, 3 steals and few blocks, +33.

For everyone who want to trade Lauri for a salary dump and think that Lauri doesnt have it and think that intentionally tanking all season didnt somehow affect Lauris numbers...

SUCK IT!!!

He is going to be just fine.
