Lauri Markkanen Hype & Appreciation Thread

Lauri's advanced numbers suggest he's a border-line All-NBA player, let alone an All-Star. Hell, seeing as he's been going from strength to strength as the season rolls on, he may well be a top 10 player in the league by April.

We've got quite the gem here. I won't call out any names, but to think that there was a decent-sized contingent here on Jazzfanz who wanted Barrett instead of him. Can you freaking imagine? We'd be in running for Wemby, I suppose, but the same advanced stats suggest that Barrett is among the worst non-rookie players in the league. He's actually got a negative VORP, and on a team that's 4 games above .500.

From a Finnish fan perspective it would be the justice murder for Lauri not to be in the All-Star. From a blunt and direct (and often drunken) fan perspective, it comes down to the overall credibility of NBA. From NBA's economical and marketing perspectives it should be plain clear thing from the basis of; 'On quality of the player Lauri Markkanen'.

But, because the justice murder is the norm, I stay pessimist, and predict the murder. Because Lauri is just everyday casual, decent, modest, Finnish man.

That, however, doesn't impact that much the play of my idol, but it would impact to his chances to 'direct' NBA audiences for his benefits. We won't see Lauri licking his name-sake Nike shoe (he cannot do such things due respect...), he can parody others but not without parodying himself too, and never against the sport itself. He is the man that keeps 'silent', but if there is ever serious reasons to say, then everyone will listen.

If Lauri yells, then things are on a verge of an overthrow.

People who didn't see him now, won't see him in a future, and those who accuse him for his past shortcomings will likely accuse him for his future shortcomings, never seeing that genuine Unicorn playing for them with innate, natural, unalienated joy for the game.

He was never alone on the court.

Don’t worry he is a lock for the all-star game.
 
Imagine 35 yo Lauri in your team. With that attitude, sportsmanship, vision, and experience. Mentorship.

No rookie would ever feel too uneasy.

That deep is the Jazz, potentially.

Holy crap that is so so satisfying
The one on gobert and the one on Jokic are probably my two favorite. Love that Jokic goes flying out of bounds. Poor Vuc got in 2 posters.

I didn't realize he was crazy athletic like this when we traded for him...some of these dunks are absolutely ridiculous. Such a fun player to watch.
