Lauri Legend not looking so hot tonight, man the Bulls FO are some dumb motherfuckers.
That's quite an overreaction to one shooting night. If he hits at his regular clip, that's a 20 point, 9 board and 4 block night. Which is not all that bad. Rebounding has been good, and it will get better when he gets stronger. At least he has stopped growing finally.
I'm not really worried about a guy shooting 0 for 10 when that same guy has been shooting threes at a 40% clip since he was 14.
I'm more curious about the Arizona part and now the Bulls offensive schemes. Somehow Miller scouted a guy who had done nothing but score on isolations and off the dribble for the past 2-3 years against elite competition, and he turned him into a standstill jump shooter while Trier dribbled the air out of the ball.
I thought Markkanen would never play with a guard as bad as Trier again, but boy was I wrong. How about isolating him at the top of the key or on the wing and see what he can do? Lauri can shoot of the dribble and he does it well. If you want him to just shoot threes that's a complete waste of his skillset.
