Lauri Markkanen isn’t anti-fan.
The 7-foot Bulls big man, however, is anti-noise.
So while he knows the criticism and concerns of his game are kicking at the doors of the Advocate Center on a daily basis, in his world it’s all a waste of time and energy.
“Obviously you hear stuff,’’ Markkanen said after the Thursday practice. “I’m not going to pretend I don’t hear anything, but I don’t pay attention to that. People don’t know what really goes into it, they don’t know what your position is. It’s easy to block out.’’
Ok, simple for an athlete to say, but let’s call his bluff.
