Never did I imagine Lauri becoming the face of a team’s roster…ESPECIALLY a team expected by many to tank for Wemby preseason after trading both Gobert and Spida in addition to having their head coach resign

[@Yoni123]

Isn’t that exactly the kind of team where a B+ player can become the number one guy? It's not like he was gonna be the face of a contender

[@SoHype]

@@Yoni123 To be fair though, they are winning a lot of games right now

tbf thou Lauri AND Wemby partnership would be the end of NBA

[@melancholypuppy3595]

I always loved Lauri and thought he was treated unfairly but even i didn't think he would be this good on the jazz. He's most improved so far imo

[@CWJ0725]

Jazz executives at the start of the season: guys, we are tanking for Wemby.. Lauri: I'm your wemby.

[@brianhenry7983]

what makes you think that. maybe they new this team had alitnif potential. Danny ainge knows basketball he wasn't tanking for shit

[@JelaniWood]

I am truly happy for that guy. I love players that end up going to the right team and shine.

[@andrrrrrray]

Lauri's handles so improved this season, thanks to ball hog gloves i suppose. Shout out to Markkanen and coach Karon Godwin, two gorgeous men in basketball.

[@julyvincentdelapiedra741]

Whats difference lauri is doing this season is hes finally being aggressive and physical like giannis and also being confident and decisive with his shot. And also maybe its the way coach hardy using him and his system. And one more hes surprisingly healthy this season because the previous ones he always gets injured and out for many games.

[@Luka-nw6kc]

I had a feeling he was going to be good this season because i watched him destroy my country at the world cup qualifiers and in the eurobasket(43 points!). He played great the entire Eurobasket and i thought to myselfx there's no reason he can't do that in the nba.

[@EdmundosJR]

The reason is this... Y'all saw how he played for team Finland (my country) finnish head coach ran plays thru Lauri and he got to show what he got in the bag. In cavs especially he did only catch and shoot (pick and pop). Jazz coach analyzed those wc games and played offense thru Lauri so now he can play like he is customed to

[@StupidityAndBeyondGamer]

Man, he is more aggressive playing for Finland

[@EdmundosJR]

@@StupidityAndBeyondGamer now he can translate that aggressiveness to the nba and we all can see the results. 2nd finnish nba player in the history

[@BallOfSteel]

He has also changed his physique training from Bulls years. Prirority is no longer mass which makes big guys injury prone. Markkanen has dropped 15 pounds in two years (excess muscles). New physique training target has been set in strength, speed exposiveness and being healthy through the season. He has described being in best shape of his life but his physique trainer said the ceiling is not there yet. Prime years still to come.

[@footballnotsoccer8873]

[@isit7189]

The difference in Lauri’s game is that he’s attacking the rim, and when you attack, your shot will open up for you. He used to be very timid and wouldn’t attack the rim, and was very dependent on his jumper, but now he looks reborn and is most certainly front runner for MIP. So happy for him as a Bulls fan

[@joulupukki1607]

He was not afraid to attack rim it was coaches fault they trated him solely catch and shooter who gives screens and took rebounds. Bulls coach would prolly bench him if he even tried to attack rim without pick n roll..

[@BallOfSteel]

@@joulupukki1607 compared to Bulls years he has also got rid off excess weight (= too much muscles) which makes big guys injure prone. He has lost 15 pounds the last 2 years. New target of physique training is in strength, speed explosiveness and actually staying healthy through the season. According Lauri he is now in best shape of his career, and according to his PT ceiling is not yet there, so prime years still to come.

[@adamstratton683]

Love his game!

[@maltfusion6743]

People shouldn't blame Bulls or Cavs too much. As a Finn I have watched this guy closely and it was the 2022 Eurobasket where he was forced to take a lot of shots and be alfa male that he discovered himself as a star - it's all in the head really.

[@gvbdwqqso6270]

Nah hes always been the same with the national team. This is just the first time hes trusted in the nba

[@henrimarjoan7876]

Bulls trainers and Jim Boylen made him bulk up and he became slower. I think they deserve all the blame. Cavs dont. Et vissii hirveen tarkasti oo kuitenkaa seurannu jos kaikki johtuu muka päästä.

[@thund3r682]

Nah I like the bulls but it’s a fact that our developmental system is pure trash we can’t develop no one they always have a breakout when they leave.

[@BallOfSteel]

As you know, he was pretty crucial already in 2017 Eurobasket for Team Finland, made big time shots & plays. 2017-2019 were great at Bulls, but Markkanen said himself he was unhappy the last 2 years at Bulls. Cavs gave him back the joy of the game. Would be pretty dumb to say it's all in the head even though surely Eurobasket gave him confidence boost. Biggest change however are in his physique training (shift from mass to speed explosineves) and the fact he is no longer player #4 or #5 on team's game system but #1, just like in Team Finland.

[@vincentchauvet6654]

i think its pretty simple actually, it comes down to using him correctly. Yes he can shoot but i think his biggest strength as a scorer is his downhill speed and finishing at his height. I think using him as combo forward and trusting him on offense as a ball handler changes his game.

[@underpressure07140]

He's looking like a more athletic version of Dirk out there

[@Goose21]

honestly go watch some old dirk highlights like early 2000s. He was more athletic than people seem to remember especially straight line speed wise

[@jayson9894]

the key to jazz win is lauri needs to attempt atleast 20 shots.

I can't believe it. We have two Larry Bird in the league rn. Luka and Lauri bout to be Larry successor's 😂

[@brianhenry7983]

lauri is more of a Dirk than bird. luka is on another level, the most complete player I've ever seen tbh.

[@trikk9964]

@brianhenry7983 ... his handle looks much better than Dirk's. He does feel closer to Larry in that regard. If only his hands and instincts were as fast as Larry's. But that... is getting greedy. I'm very happy with what he has demonstrated this season.

[@daviesugo7641]

Lauri bird

[@antoine5529]

If you fuse Lauri and Luka you get Bird but Luka is already a better version of Larry Bird

[@wonderlandian8465]

Neither of them play like Bird at all..... Lauri is more like a young Dirk when Dirk was athletic , Doncic plays like a combination of Harden and an older Lebron James
