Lauri Markkanen Hype & Appreciation Thread

Can someone breakdown how the voting works?

I thought the starters are voted in by some formula: fan vote + player vote + coaches vote

Then the rest of the team is picked by the coaches.

Then any reserves are picked by the commissioner.

Can someone post how it actually works?

Yeah thats correct except the bolded part should be press (not coaches).

Head coaches specifically pick all the reserves (3 FC, 2 BC and 2 Flex from each conference) and afaik commissioner only picks injury replacements if those are needed.

Could be wrong but I'm pretty sure thats how it works.

We just gotta hope the coaches pick Markkanen.

They’re our only hope.

Thanks, I stopped being lazy and looked it up. The starters are picked based on 50% fans, 25% players, and 25% media.

I think Lauri gets snubbed for both MIP and AS, gets mad and averages 37 points the rest of the way, destroying the tank and carrying the Jazz to the first round of the playoffs, where we lose after a heroic effort.

I'm here for it.

Lol what? He’s a lock for both and he’s going to do what you said anyways.

Lock for ASG. The other one is decided based on the rest of this season.

At the current moment he’s a lock.

No way Lauri doesn’t get MIP. I mean who’s the alternative?

SGA has a pretty good case as well.

Lauri is averaging 27/9 in his last 25 games and 30/10 in his last 15 games. That is ****ing bonkers. It is hard to put into words how great he has been this season. It’s pretty surreal.
