Can he eventually develop into one? Abso fucking lutely.

Number 1 option on a contender needs to be at top 10 player in the league, I’d say he’s not winning a title as a #1 guy
DevonJD
Pretty sure he is the jazz #1 option

As massive Lauri fan… Yes and no.

I wish he was, but I really don’t think so. He’s a #2 at best

He’s not there yet, and i love the guy.

I think he lacks the ball skills to be a true #1 option on a championship team. He does most of his damage off of passes, which limits his ability to be a top-10ish guy.

No

In 20 years there have been ten guys that fit that description, total.

He’s a good scorer but doesn’t seem to want to take over games late to win them like a true #1. Clarkson and Sexton always try to take over that role. He’s an excellent #2 option but we won’t win anything with him as our #1 guy.
TheMoonsMadeofCheese
No and honestly his play style works much better as a #2 than a #1

Ya he’s a number 2 guy only. He is excellent at that role

No, but that’s okay.

My question is was Dirk a number 1 guy? Lauri needs a Kidd/Nash type player for us to become a contender just like Dirk needed them.

Zach Lowe thinks he is #3 on a championship team due to lack of playmaking and shot creation. However, he did notice a slight improvement in playmaking this year.

Lauri’s a 1B, Keyonte has the chance to be a 1B, so all we need to do is watch the Clippers implode and then convince Kawhi Leonard to come over and let’s go win a chip next year.

I think if he is your #3 option, you are winning a championship.
