So I've been thinking a lot about roster construction and the best lineups to use obviously this season and moving forward and I'm wondering where Lauri fits best? Obviously he is very versatile and it's super important to play position less basketball nowadays but one thing is evident right now - Lauri isn't a playmaker and can't create for himself or really others. He needs to be set up. Maybe he makes progress in this area throughout the season but maybe not.
If he doesn't develop this part of his game is he best suited at the 3 where is has a big size advantage or would he best be suited at the 4 or 5? Honestly the Jazz really need a playmaking wing. Ideally someone like a younger Gordon Hayward. Even though the point guard position is the hot button topic right now I do feel that will eventually be worked out with Keyonte George taking over sooner rather than later.
I think the ideal future best lineup will be having Lauri at the 5 with a dynamic playmaker at the 3 (someone like a Gordon Hayward) with Keyonte at the 1 with Taylor Hendricks at the 4 and Ochai at the 2. I also don't know if Walker Kessler is the long term piece at the 5?
