Lauri Markkanen says ‘it feels good’ to score in different ways other than 3s after slow start from deep

Despite only shooting 24.2% from 3-point range through five games, Utah Jazz big man Lauri Markkanen is putting up career highs in PPG (22.0) and field goal percentage (48.8%).

Here’s Markkanen describing why he’s not stressing about making threes just yet after last night’s home win over the Houston Rockets.

(via Sarah Todd- Deseret News):

“I know the numbers will even out, so I keep working on it and it’ll start going in eventually,” Markkanen said. “But it feels good that I’m able to do other stuff than just rely on those shots.”
