The Nuggets’ season has been over for a while now. Jokic and Nurkic have already gotten their chances to be shown off in the offense. Is it not Lauvergne’s turn now? I mean, he got thirty minutes, which makes it look like they were showing him off, but he only took eight shots, which means he was definitely not being shown off. The official threshold of being an offensive centerpiece is shooting fifteen shots per game. Not just in one game, either. For the rest of the season.
I am not the only person who wants this, although I might be the only American who does. You can walk around the streets of Strasbourg or Toulouse and ask anybody you like: “Should Joffrey Lauvergne shoot fifteen shots per game for the rest of the Nuggets’ season?”. You will only get positive responses. Especially if you translate the question into French. I’m still working on that part. Languages are hard.
