BOMBSHELL: Lauri Markkanen STUNS Serbia | Lauri making HISTORICAL mark on Finland Basketball?
David Locke, radio voice of the Utah Jazz and Jazz NBA Insider, explores Lauri Markkanen’s historic performance in Finland’s stunning EuroBasket victory over Serbia. He analyzes Markkanen’s potential impact on Finnish basketball, drawing parallels to transformative figures like Steve Nash and Vince Carter in Canada. Locke dissects a crucial new move in Markkanen’s arsenal – a pump fake, one-dribble step-back jumper – and its implications for his NBA game.
The podcast also examines the paths for young Jazz players to become top-100 NBA talents. Keyonte George’s efficiency improvements are compared to Anfernee Simons and Coby White, while Isaiah Collier’s defensive potential is likened to Jalen Suggs. Intriguingly, Locke proposes Kyle Filipowski as a potential Nikola Vucevic-type player. With the Jazz’s preseason approaching, Locke’s analysis offers fans a tantalizing glimpse into the team’s evolving roster and individual player trajectories.

Lauri Markkanen has absolutely NOTHING to do with anything "Norwegian" (which refers to Norway, an entirely different country than Finland). You probably mean "Nordic".
Hey Locke: Do believe that a player like Brice Sensebaugh can be retrained by a defensive expert "at this point in his career" to become a good defensive player? Or is it out of the realm of possibilities? Has there been previous examples of poor to mediocre defensive players becoming good defensive players in the NBA ? Thx
Let’s not discount the impact of Vancouver Grizzlies Big Country Reeves, on Canadian basketball
All Eurobasket is proving is that Lauri is a problem for a team that wants to "try and lose". We either trade him or not worry about conveying the our top pick. Considering that this draft can be what will be what will the Jazz will need to save this tank (meaning the talent we have gotten hasnt been worth what the team has done over the last 3 seasons), we cant have Lauri playing this good with the Jazz. I want to keep Lauri so IMO time to try and win if you want to keep him.
Kelly O is TOP100 player in NBA. If you talk current players. He is lot better than people give credit to him. And it is insult call us Norwegian, not as bad than call us Swedish but pretty bad.
What is this nonsense
Getting excited for this season! Go Jazz! Can’t wait to hear Locke calling games again!
Don‘t forget Detlef ‚white magic‘ Schrempf on list of top Euro players
All German kids wanted to be him back in the day
Yeah, Lauri has nothing to do with "Norwegian" 😂 If you thought that meant "Nordic", then maybe, yeah. Lauri is first Nordic All Star in NBA but for example Sweden has had more NBA players during the years, even now they have two. They are just not as big names as Lauri.
My favorite thing about watching the finns win was knowing how excited DLocke would be
Lauri for sure way better than Jokic this is our year go jazz Ryan smith is awesome
Drazen.
Norwegian countries? Please…
Thanks for watching Eurobasket where every game is important and teams really try to win. Also the star players don't get easy calls that easy.
