The good and the bad from Lauri Markkanen's preseason debut

Share

Lauri Markkanen's debut wasn't exactly a thing of beauty. 

The rookie forward struggled to find his shot, missing all six of his 3-point attempts and finishing just 1-for-9 from the field. There were a few positives, though. 

Markkanen trailed a fastbreak for his first preseason basket, smoothly finishing in the lane. His reputation for stretching the floor also forced the Pelicans into tough choices in the halfcourt set.
