Lauri Markkanen Hype & Appreciation Thread

We need to do a better job of getting him involved later in the game. He should touch the ball every single possession late in the game. Run a high-low set with Olynyk with cuts or hella-pnr's. But he needs to be more involved in the offense and he isn't at the level yet where he can create for himself and others enough to just give him the ball. I think he'll get there, but right now he needs someone to help set him up and get him the ball.

Also Hardy needs to unleash his shot blocker when the other team is feasting in the paint. I'm convinced we had a better shot to win with Kessler in than Olynyk last night.

That's all true.

Jazz playmaking outside of Conley is mediocre Sexton and Clarkson have some basketball IQ but they aren't PG's.
Ainge should've tried to acquire legit backup PG who can run offense and make plays before this season started
but some reason he didn't do it and now Jazz playmaking is what it is when Conley is out.

Only Durant creates his own scoring chances and shots
but Lauri absolutely should try to learn create for himself then he wouldn't be so depend on PG what he's now.

I didnt get any tanking sense. Lauri seemed pretty confident and I got the impression there is no doomsday feeling in the locker room.

Doesn't surprise me. The guys have literally nothing to lose, and everything to gain by playing hard for what amounts to a possible "contract year" scenario for just about everybody. So that will help them be competitive, at least, in most games. And they will win more than they probably should. Definitely makes it a lot of fun to watch for the most part.

I thought that was kale. Smoking it is probably way better than eating it. Right up there with eating a cactus.

So what's going on here? Remember when Lauri used to play for this team?

Seems like he must be really sick, he's missed 4 days of work now. I was thinking about this the other day, but I've only ever missed one day at a time from work for being sick. I'm obviously not a high level athlete and I've also been pretty lucky.

Players have played through illness before, but maybe that is being discouraged these days. Hopefully he recovers quickly and doesn't have any long term effects. Does anybody have any more details on what he's sick with?
