Coby White scored 27 points with 8 assists and 4 rebounds in his season debut.

Most underrated player in the league rn
Almost all teams have their top players from outside US nowadays

pls trade him asap
Are they setting Lauri up for a trade…. He is helping them though.
THIS GUY IS TOP 7 IN THE WORLD PLS GET HIM HELP 😭😭😭😭🐐
Lauri on beast mode this season! Only a nasty facial served on Vucevic's face missing.. 😂
The assist at 3:00 would be all over the socials if this was one of the more popular players.
I watched the Euros this past summer and this guy was cooking. I expect him to have a great season. Teams should be looking into how to acquire this guy. He’s a key piece to a championship
Lauri Markkanen is going nuclear.
47 tonight.
40 before that.
35 before that.
And a 51-piece already this season.
He’s in the best form of his career.
And that’s exactly why the phone is ringing.
Spurs or Pistons?
Both make sense.
The fact the jazz aren’t really tanking cause they know the nba won’t give them the first pick says a lot
Tbh. Lauri is the kryptonite to Bulls.
And he is doing all this while barely dribbling.
he was fire the whole game but that last one… insanity..
NBA TEAM : okay, we will be tanking this seaason
Random Player : Aight imma be goat this season
He really is the least spoken of talent
Can't wait for the flood of comments saying the Jazz need to give him away for basically nothing since he's being "wasted" in Utah, oh, but also he's the most overpaid player in the league and they were dumb to pay him.
No you guys, the Jazz should totally trade him for a vet in their mid 30's and 1 or 2 first round picks, instead of letting him be a major piece to a rapidly rebuilding corp!
He's so damn good.
please philly move pg and mccain for him.
Spida trade not so bad after all🙌🏾
this guy is going off but theres always been flashes۔ perennial all star?
Gotta remember the opposing teams entire gameplan is containing this dude and he still drops 40 like its nothing.
