No. Making them unguarded in a non-game setting…. Do you think Amen Thompson shoots 26% from NBA 3pt in drills?
I do not care about his jump shot but his rim running, shot blocking and rebounding,,,,he is very athletic so he can play PF with Sengun. He is definitely going to be a lottery’s pick.My Dream Draft is Amen and Lively. He could trade with Orlando because they have two early draft picks
I'm high on Lively, most preseason mock drafts had Lively going early. A calf injury early in the season stalled his production but he put things together and became a force near the rim, anchor of the defense. I have no doubt Udoka would love to get him at #20 Here is an article that summarizes Dereck's season https://www.si.com/college/duke/basketball/shellshocking-duke-basketball-freshman-changed-3-23 I have him as a Marvin Bagley with a 3-ball
Did someone said taking Lively at 4?! I like him but good lord the galaxy brain needs to be exposed. This is truly next level.
It’s also why we could see Amen jump up. His athleticism is going to blow someone away and he may move to 2 or 3. If he’s there at 4, I’m sure there will be offers for the Rockets to consider based on his workouts.
It is also a chess game and predict what other teams do ......so I guess nobody would take Lively at 4......might as well trade the pick.
Wouldn't take him at 4, but if we could PKG the 4 and whatever to trade down and get multiple picks... coming out of the draft with C Wallace and D Lively would be nice. Two of the best defenders in the draft.
My big board is basically Edey, Lively, then the Frenchman (risk of him going to Major League Soccer) Folks you can't teach size /Draft
I'm gonna be pretty lively in da club if we pass on everyone DD vouches for.. sorry my man.. you're on a several decades long miss streak. I'd sooner hire David Kahn to consult on the draft before looking to DD for his pick. No offense DD. DD
You can't script a legit 7 footer with 7'7" rumored wingspan into making 11 3's in a row. Barlowe also posted about Lively swishing shot in the gym every night after midnight. Lively is probably going to be a top 10 pick near the 7-10 range by the end of this process. Gonna be too expensive for us to trade up to take.
That video was impressive no matter who you are. There are tons of good players that could never put together a string like that. Especially centers. I don’t think you draft him #4 based on it, but you can’t disregard it, either.
Son, I'm old enough to remember when @Clutch was writing articles about DeSagana Diop wrecking **** during his private workouts.
Some days when I'm shooting in my driveway one-on-zero, I'm a ****ing sniper. Rockets should draft me.
I've wanted to trade #4 for 6 & 11 from the Magic, take Walker@6, and use #11 & 20 as ammo in a deal for a young,veteran stud. That said, I could get my head around Lively@11. Coming out of this draft with Walker and Lively would be cool.
