Derek Lively is the guy in this draft outside of Wemby that will have the most impact. I would take him at 4, if I had to....would rather trade down and get him but I think he is going to be that good....and for years to come. And he helps us now a stretch 5 that can rim protect.....he is the best prospect not named Wemby. IMHO. DD
Come one Javale couldn't shoot like that, and couldn't get into Duke if Einstein tooks his entry level tests. DD
Why take an unnecessary risk - trade up to #2 to get him (or #1 if we can post a surety bond with SA to not pick Wemby)
He's starting to pick up a lot of buzz. Was hoping he could be the guy at 20 but it looks like there's no way he'll last that long. He might just push into the lotto.
Yeah I concur. Pack 20 and a young guy for him or pack 4 and 20 to trade down and get a veteran / young guy / future pick and draft Lively! I’m not enamoured with Miller nor Thompson twins.
I like him. Not at all costs, but I like him. I’m not excited about adding two more rookies without a massive consolidation trade but he clearly fits a need. As others have said, he won’t be there at 20. He wouldn’t be an option for me with our earlier pick relative to the other prospects available.
