He actually isn’t really raw on offense, he has nice touch and finesse around the rim, that reverse lay was so effortless. good screens which is wild because it was bad in the summer league. But what people don’t know is he already has the mid range jumper and 3 point shot. Some players and coaches have talked about his shooting being really nice. He just has to lock down what’s on his plate now and then they will let him pull it out.
He is raw and that’s a good thing. He has good fundamentals and is way more solid than he should be as a rookies but he has a lot of room to improve. I think his ceiling is crazy high.
Last night, against the Bulls, when Lively went out and Powell and Kleber were in, they kept attacking the rim, and feasted on our defense... but when Lively is in, everything changed on our interior defense... On offense, Luka has so much gravity that it almost guarantees offensive rebounding chances for Lively especially when the big has to help stop Luka lol. Pick and roll with Kyrie/Luka and Lively, is super deadly, while Tim Hardaway and Grant Williams are 3pt specialist so good luck use their defenders to help lol
All we Mavs fans wanted was Lively to be good enough to start. He’s going to far exceed those meager expectations. He could very well be first team all rookie
The mavs don’t even understand what they have on their hands. Lively can be an offensive monster if they used him that way. He can dribble pass and shoot. They could literally have Luka with Dirk Chandler 2.0. He already can shoot but they didn’t want that at duke and they don’t want it in Dallas. When he settles I can see him leaping to the second option offense, an ad type when healthy. Can’t guard him and can’t get passed him
Him ,then they brought in PJ Washington and Daniel Gafford has created a whole new Dallas team, they Re now able to compete for a championship as we are seeing with winning 1st game against Minnesota, Lively is 20 so he still will grow as a player. He has to develop his shooting period that's his one flaw, with his athleticism I think he can definitely develop a shot, hes got a ton of potential, and only 20
bulls went to the basket 35% when he was off the floor and it dropped to 26% when he is on the floor. He is a monster in the making. nba should have intervened when dallas drafted him. He and luka combo will be serious problem in the nba. like shaq and kobe but even more dangerous cos no ego here. Dallas is a dark horse but they can win it all if they click.
False D live has many offensive abilitie. He can play all positions 1-5 shoot dribble and pass. He did what was asked of him in Duke. Offense wasn’t a priority but checkout his high school film and you’ll see what I mean. He was my brothers teammate for years. Besides he’s from Philly! Boxing, ball, and trapping are second nature to us. I kno 6 feet 350lb big dudes that can dribble and shoot like Kyrie lol and lil dudes they play like Shaq 😂. D Live is just getting started and we haven’t seen anything yet. Watch when the Mavs turn him loose! Tyson Chandler is a good mentor but he is much more versatile than Chandler ever was.
Don't. Lively has time to develop a jumper. He has been soaking up Chandlers basketball wisdom. Soon you will see him bulk a little and have a floater or even knock a middy off a screen. The man is hyperfocused at 19... this 1 has that old school 90s work ethic... once he learns the intricacies at an NBA level and hardy reaches his true potential they won't even need to resign kyrie. You will have 3 guys averaging 80 points for the season
@@de4ds1ghtcsgo94have u seen him on the draft? He shoots 3 and middy. One thing the front office saw is that he is a consistent offensive player he shoots 3 and middy. The defense is just a bonus part. They pick lively purposedly for the offense but they were shocked when they discovered the defensive potential
Man I knew DLive was gonna be good, and dude seems like a sponge. He played on duke with not very elite ball handlers and now he plays with the two elite playmakers. I think he could average 20 10 2 with the end of this season or next. Now we just have to hope OMax can get some reps in the G League, we need both of them.
How the hell do you only have 3k subs? Your production value is really good for that small of a channel i gotta say. Also good video, i like both Lively and Mark Williams in Charlotte a lot, both seem to have bright nba careers
