I'd love to see him try to guard either a point guard or a true center. Maybe he can guard 3 and 4 but I'm not sold on him for the other positions.Moves really fast and is able to guard perimeter & any position

How many freshman rookie PF has scored better numbers than Markkanen?.
Not overly convinced that Porzingis is a franchise type player.
Anyways I'm glad you mentioned him. Porzingis had a good rookie year just like Lauri is having one now. Porzingis took a step forward in his 2nd year and even another step this year. That is what i want to see from Lauri.
He's on par with Emeka Okafor's rookie season.

Get that tank going, bruh.
Lauri on the court doesn't help
If Lauri wasn't breaking records I wouldn't have a problem with him taking the rest of the season off and enjoying his new found fatherhood.Fantastic idea. Markkanen has baby on the way and it's going to born these days. Maybe little time with his family would be good for him & tank.
Because Okafor was a long range beast like LM.He's on par with Emeka Okafor's rookie season.

I learn so much on these forums.
Even if, your comparing two completely different players. Okafor was a much better rebounder from the jump also.Same average. I'm not saying Okafor is a comparison for Lauri. Learn how to read.
And what are these records that Lauri is breaking?

That being said, Okafor is the slow climb upwards from the Channing Frye/ Raef LaFrenz comparisons from previous head scratches that were given. Next year it will be a better one surely, but a bottom basement player just so the pundits can still try to save face because outside of "homers" the whole franchise player thing and all....
Wait.... Harold Miner was compared to Jordan coming out of college. "Baby" Jordan if I recall. Since, you know, scouts were making that comparison, but the fans of Miami saw thru it quickly, who was right or wrong?
As for records, Twitter is Golden.
And off course no mention of these records Lauri is breaking.
Gotta be one of the dumbest stats I've read lolFastest player to hit 100 3 pointers. (41 games) Most 3 pt made in game by 7 footer (8 3pts, tied with Dirk)

Oh, how about how Kwame Brown was compared to Karl Malone and Harold Miner was compared to (lol) Jordan.What the **** you on about?
Markkanen is a franchise player. Can he lead the Bulls? I think so. Can he be the center piece? He could. Would I be comfortable with him taking the last shot? Damn right I would.
But that's not saying he wouldn't be better with Doncic or Ayton on the court with him, either.
So what your saying is I should have bolded the "I" an "could". Such minute details on a forum to convey opinion is similar to somebody saying their only a "little" pregnant..You declare he is a franchise player, then say you "think" he can lead them and he "could" be the centrepiece.
A franchise player does lead the team and is the centrepiece.
Lol what?Three absolute Bulls homers who think Lauri can do no wrong? Oooh I guess I'm sold. Is every single member of NBA media turning a blind eye to the greatness of Lauri? You can't be that delusional (lol jk u can)

And then I realize I'm on HF forums and things just magically fall into place.....
So...Auston Matthews and Connor McDavid aren't franchise players?No, there's a very big difference between someone you "think" could lead a team and someone who does.
There's a very big difference between someone who could be the centrepiece and someone who is.
A franchise player isn't someone who "could" be the centrepiece, it is someone who is.
These aren't minute details, they're the difference between a franchise player and potential.
If they "could" be the centrepiece that means they currently aren't. If you only "think" they can lead the team, that means they currently aren't. If you aren't leading the team, if you aren't the centrepiece, then you're not a franchise player. Maybe one day, but not right now. When he proves he can do those things, then he is a franchise player.
