Lauri Markkanen - Utahin Marsalkka: All-NBA Snub

[ChicagoCavFan]

As far as I know, he hasn't lost weigh, if you don't look at his thighs, and I think he moves way faster

Not possible.

Not possible.

Ok.

 

[ChicagoCavFan]

Ok.

It's an RCFism, the board loves it some thighs. Discussion on them is sprinkled within many threads, and has become a source of humor.

I never liked what Chicago did to him. I thought they were utilizing him incorrectly trying to bulk him up. Lateral quickness is very important for him and the plan to do that is exceptional for him. I know he wants to improve guarding wing players. Lauri is a man with confidence, he will excel.

I like him a lot and I believe he will be better this season with us.

And thanks @Swuul always for sharing.

I shall take one for the team and examine his thighs closely.

Finns! Deliver Lauri for inspection!

As far as I know, he hasn't lost weight. He has focused on lower body and legs (especially lateral speed) in the physical training this summer, and eased a bit on pumping iron (past summers, as per Bulls guidelines, he did the bench press series with up to 100 kg, this summer as per Cavs guidelines he has been doing bench press series with 80 kg and even less). He looks leaner now (at least to my eyes), if you don't look at his thighs, and I think he moves way faster (in the Thursdays match he was moving laterally faster than I have ever seen him move, which resulted in a few steals (I bet the swedish players couldn't fathom how such a big guy can move so fast)).

Are you from Finland?

If so, just understand some jokes dont translate well and nothing bad is meant toward you or Marky. Thank you for the update, I look forward to Lauri's 2nd year with the Cavs.

Only measurables meet the ATS of course ... (ATS = advanced thigh statistics)

Laters Croatia (Zubac, Bogdanovic, Hezonja, Bender & co).

So this is what Dragan Bender is doing these days!

 

[Step-Back Hook]

If Finland had elite play-makers that are not too old to play big minutes Lauri would score 30 a game in these int. matches. So many bad passes to him leading to few turn overs.

Lauri’s biceps and shoulders were enormous when he was in Chicago. Good for looking buff but not really basketball-essential muscles

Its always amazing how middle of the road NBA players look against inferior competition.
