Precautionary measure is all they said. Maybe related to last game where he hit his head on the floor and looked wobbly after getting up.

Lauri is having a rough game offensively against Germany. The game is pretty much out of hand for Finland and most of the 4th quarter will essentially be garbage time.

Btw it was interesting how Lithuania coach used Jonas Valanciunas in the first half. He was matching non-Lauri minutes to the teeth and thus barely played in the first half as Lauri didnt rest as much as he usually does. Second half they did share the court some but still he ended up playing...

What a weird take. Lauri had the worst shooting night and both him and Finland's other key scorer Sasu Salin couldn't hit a jumper to save their lives (I think Lauri hit just 1 jumpshot the whole game and Sasu hit 0). But despite his dry jumper and no help/threat by his Robin he still managed to...

Yeah they do hedge off screens very aggressively. Cant do that when they face teams with NBA level playmakers.

Craziest stat for Lauri imo: He ranks 3rd in the tournament in steals per game with 3.0. Watching all his games it does feel like he is more aware of passing lanes and using his length better than before.

Our old buddy Simone Fontecchio had himself a game: 39 PTS, 8 R, 3 A with 13/20 shooting.

Timing of this poll could not be worse if you are looking for an honest pulse check. I will wait and see what my interest level is when TC starts. Last season it was fine until I saw Cody play and TH get injured after which it plummeted.

Regarding any "timeline" debates, fact is we dont have one. You need the #1 guy before you announce timelines. We are in purgatory indefinitely until we find HIM. On the other hand if Ace or whoever is HIM, then the clock is already running and we just dont know it.

Its naive to assume he can say whatever and just do the opposite without consequences. Media will hold him acvountable for his words especially since he is a first time POBO who is also a nepo baby. He can still do standard stuff like shut down Lauri post ASB if we are eliminated.. but he has...

Yep. And 40.3 PPG with only 17.7 FGA thanks to that incredible 13,3 FTA average, His incredible efficiency at high volume is what made him an all-star few years ago. If he can up his volume in this Eurobasket compared to the previous one he may win the scoring title. He came close last time...

So by my math Lauri has scored 121 points in 72 minutes with only 53 FGA over these 3 prep games. Thats..... nice.

I think its just because we were the ones calling them.

Im so checked out rn it took me 5 days to even see this thread. #takenote bitches. Enjoy the summer.

Cam Thomas wants 25-30M per year. I would never. Also the Sexton deal tells you how much AA appreciates small guards who cant do much more than score.

I think Clayton is more in the modern PG mold so I vote for him. But other one is unproven and other one is very young so this is very much a hail mary question at this point.

Well this thread is living up to its title thats for sure...

Are you suggesting Tyler Herro, the man who doesnt believe in history prior to 1950?

Listen, thats the first step. Faking passes means you know passing exists.

I agree with this but the contract may be an issue when you are extending them others. But I do believe that quartet + getting lucky in the next lottery + other young pieces we got has the makings of a really good team if they can manage the cap.
