Eurobasket 2025

Lauri will be great at this championship. First he is relaxing for 2 years here and he will show he can be a second option in a contending team. I still feel sad ( not really much considering the money he is making) that he is losing his prime in a tanking team.

Procida seems to be in Italy`s preliminary squad. It would be nice if he made the squad and got some playing time.

2004-06 Kirilenko was a top 15-20 player in the league tbh. Nobody realized how good he was, especially not Sloan.

Prime AK47 was an incredible player:

Finland-Poland 106-87 , 4th prep game
Lauri 17 min, 6p, 7reb, 1/10, 2p 0/7, 3p 1/3, FT 3/3, +7, 2 assist, 2 steals.

He tried some very difficult and contested long fadeaways and could not make any of them.

AK was a 4. Moving him to wing when boozer arrived + the bad back really hindered him. He would have been perfect in Dantoni’s system with Nash. (A modern nba offense)

Rumor says Lauri had a hangover. I heard it from my cat.

Damn, hear that cat has some good sources. Definitely not just an aggregator.

Well Boozer clearly had to play the 4. There’s no debating that. The biggest issue was AK thought he should’ve been higher option then 4 on offense so he bitched and didn’t play well. He was a 3 during the Stockton Malone time and was fine. AK bitched and it hurt his play. He didn’t work hard and it led to lots of nagging injuries. Don’t Blame Sloan Blame AK.
