Lauri Markkanen Hype & Appreciation Thread

[The Midnight]

Honestly, I thought Ainge acquired him in order to trade him to further maximize the haul for Mitchell. Now I hope the Jazz keep him.

No one thought he would be this good.

Yeah he's a keeper man. I mean he has more upsides than Hayward if you ask me. Taller, can play more positions and the 3pt shooting is more consistent & legit. Both can attack the rim.

EXTEND THIS DUDE NOW

His dunks remind me of a younger Ben Simmons....you know, from back when Simmons could really play.

That 40inch vertical, the height, the speed and control pays off. They should feed him to the basket until they overcommit.

 

[The Fresh Prince]

Lauri has so much potential.

 

[The Midnight]

I'm kind of hyped, but also ready to be let down since he certainly wont be as good as he is in Eurobasket

You were saying? Hahaha.. nah i’m also surprised he’s this good this early.

 

[FrenchJazzFa]

He is great, and at that stage he still don't shoot 3 well this year. If he go back to his nomal %, he may be an all star.

 

[enchilada_style]

He and Victor are going to be tough to handle.

I like the way you think .. hahahahaha..

He does not have a 40 inch vert

Seems to have at least 38 inch vert, what with banging his ear to the back-board.

To be fair he pulled himself up a bit on the rim. Maybe not much but an inch or 2 at least.

He's pulling himself up to the rim once he grabs it. That's not his vertical

If Lauri jumped 40 inches his head would be well over the rim.

40 inches is his max vertical. He’s not hitting his max vertical every time he jumps or dunks it.

[Tremendous Upside]

Apparently Lauri can easily dunk from the FT line. I believe it, but I also need video

 

[Aneurism]

The Finisher is a star to me. I think the trade that brought him to the Jazz was well worth it. 7' players with agility and skill aren't so easy to obtain. Hopefully, as defenses pick up and learn more about the Jazz, he continues to adapt and grow. Clearly there were a bunch of other assets that came along with the trade so it would be unfair to look at him as if he were a messiah. However, he seems to have plenty of upside.
