Tremendous Upside

Right now, due to his perimeter slump, Lauri is replacing high volume, high accuracy 3pt shooting with some free throws. While it's obviously good that he's finding other ways to score, that's still not really a winning formula in the long run. He has to scratch and claw for every trip to the FT line, and like you said, often gets roughed up in the process.From a team perspective, Lauri is shooting more FT's and the Jazz are loosing. I think fouling and roughing him up when he drives is one way to keep him from having even better numbers and the Jazz supporting cast isn't good enough when the defense is doing this to Lauri. I do like the end of the game with the ball with Clarkson
Let's hope his long ball returns sooner rather than later.
