Another wasted season of Lauri Markkanen.
Funny how Lauri has been playing the best basketball of his career this season, but hardly anyone seemed to notice. From the outside, some might see a guy putting up stats on a bad team, but anyone who actually watches knows he belongs among the NBA’s best.
Still, the Jazz keep holding him back, low usage, sitting him out for months “due to injuries.” I get they’re tanking, but Lauri is why I watch. It’s frustrating seeing his talent wasted, especially missing the second half of the season year after year.
He deserves the playoffs, playing competitive & winning basketball, and fans deserve to see him in those games.
