Lauri vs. Collins. Yikes

yet if you show that same graph three years ago, it looks pretty much the opposite. Collins is having a down year and Lauri is ultra improved. Never know what kind of improvement Collins makes (similar to Lauri) with a change of scenery, new coach, new scheme, new teammates, etc.

three years ago, Collins averaged 22 and 10 on 40% threes so he definitely has it in him.

Well that is one benefit of loading up on picks, you can then spend them to get other assets or players. I would be sorely disappointed if we used literally every pick to draft a new player, rather than bundling some of them to get either established players or better picks in a given draft.

Loading up on picks puts the Jazz into a good position to trade for a star when they come available. Dozens of star players - including the Jazz two All Stars this past season. Options open up when you have draft capital. The fact that they’ve got at least two/three guys to build around makes that fact even better.

Myllykoski, Finland.

Probably the most needed basketball court in Finland visited by local band.

That first guy has at least a 4 inch vert. Impressive.

Umm... How this is related to this thread? I should know being a Finn but I have no clue.

A State of Finnish Basketball take. Taken to the extreme.

We just cannot claim the game is secured by Markkanen. As a Finn.

Dude this really doesnt fit the the theme of Lauri hype, or Utah Jazz, or basketball, or even jazz music.

I'm confused. Are you promoting some garage band of yours?

Sorry, that video on a Basketball court made my deed, and just listened and linked, and...

Delete Everything. The basic question on Finnish Basketball still remains. It isn't going well if there aren't a court to play.

Whatever,

That is OK.

I guess we can tie these into Lauri appreciation but I think U should have introduced them with forewords where the issue of lack of "open for everyone"
basketball courts is a hindrance for the cultural growth in Finland. The amount of good ballparks and pick up
basketball is miniscule around here. This success from Lauri might at last change some of that. Should give a leverage to focus some money on basketball courts as this man's performances has increased the amount of kids going for this noble sports.
