Yep. I think last year his not so good play was more about him never getting in a great rhythm with missing games and nagging injuries and constantly changing lineups and rotation and hardcore tanking to the worst record in the league than it was about his teammates.
Looking at colliers stats compared to his rookie season and he is putting up pretty great numbers in the small sample size. His shooting efficiency is great but very low volume. Assists are up. Turnovers down (slightly). Scoring up.
Minutes are basically identical.
Points last year at...
Ya I got some flashes of hope in pre season and quite a few in summer league. He is slowly running out of time to show what he can do.
G league might help him get the confidence needed to show us some more flashes in actually NBA games
On the other hand, he is fat and slow so the thread title is accurate.
Also, statistically:
39% from the field (I would guess that is dead last in the NBA for 7 foot centers).
16% from three lol.
Doesn't get to the line but when he does only makes 63%.
Grand total of an eFG of 41.4% which is...
On the other hand, Lauri has been an all star before and won the most improved player before with those teammates.
I think he was injured a lot last season and the jazz were playing to lose. He also may have improved as well regardless of teammates.
Still a good point you make though.
