Very good mood Lauri in that interview and article. Btw, original source: https://yle.fi/urheilu/74-20003649 if someone wants to google translate.Markkanen gave an interview to Finnish broadcasting company YLE. Here are some key points:
He said he is getting along with others really well and enjoying everyones company, especially Sexton.
He seems to be fond of the city, and is about to move in to his own house (currently still living in hotel but apparently has found a place).
He feels like he has lots of areas he needs to develop in, and doesnt feel he has shown his best yet.
They also interviewed Hardy, who felt like Lauri is much further in his development than Lauri seems to think, and is also much more integral part of his plans than we have seen.
It's nice to read everything is going well for Markkanens' family. Also, It seems to me that Hardy gave more appraisals for Lauri in YLE interview than he has typically done in for example post game interviews. It clear that Lauri is one of key and central pieces for plans now, and also in a future.
Risk of Lauri being traded again seems to me now minuscule to non-existent currently. Great.
