AK47 was a tremendous player and Sloan was a tremendous coach. And... AK bitched a bit as Sloan "stubborned" a bit. That's fine.
All that said, there's no way on earth AK played the 4 before Carlos.
AK47 was a steady three point shot away from have been a truly magnificent and unique star.

Don't overreact dude.
That was good team win and being honest it's only good other guys like Nkamhoua, Salin, Valtonen, Muurinen, Amzil and Jantunen got to score last night.
Finland cannot always rely on Lauri and his scoring.
Because it's still team game after all.
Has Miro Little been playing well?

Not bad but nothing flashy, solid D and simple things in offense, as his shot hasn't developed much thru years. We expect a lot few years ago in the start of his high school//college path, but he's not developed offensive identity as we hoped. At one point he was in the top of his age group of euro talents. IMO he should come play to Europe, find a suitable team and try develop here instead of rotting in g league, after his college path is coming to end
Watch Miikka Muurinen too if you're watching Finland's games also.
He was good last pre-tournament game vs Poland this past Thursday Muurinen is potential TOP10 pick for 2027 NBA draft.
He's been fine but nothing special but unfortunately he's not NBA level PG prospect.
Miikka Muurinen is next Finnish NBA player he's quite similar with Lauri but difference is that Muurinen is good shot-blocker meanwhile Lauri is pure scorer.
I've heard that name, I think maybe he's looking at going to Indiana University? Has he declared?
No, not yet. I think he's narrowed the teams down to Arkansas, Kentucky, Duke, Indiana, UNC, NC State, and Michigan. Here are his highlights from the one preparation game he played. Positive but the offense stalled a bit while he was on the court which is understandable though it being his first game and because of youth. One missed layup where he slogged back down the court and the crowd had to shout for him get his backside back on defence. 10 pts in 10 mins, FG 4/7, 3P 2/4, 3 rebs, 1 block.

I think Muurinen is definitely one guy Jazz needs to lock in for 2027. I have quite a strong fate in his both character and player profile. I don't say he's going to be an all star like Lauri, but if Jazz will trade Lauri at some point, he'd be not bad replacement. His defense will be better and I think his offense will round up to average volume 3pt stretch big with a solid first step to punish the rim. The issue for me is, he lacks also some court vision to make plays which is also one of Lauri's development points), but at this point of his path, he might still develop it. Unless Hendricks pans out during next two seasons, Miikka is one of the must focus points in 2027 draft.
