If Lively can play right away and hold his own against the big boys, then I am absolutelt wrong on my take. If however folks are saying that he is raw, needs strength and a few years to contribute in this league and his scoring is still a question mark, then that early in the draft he was the wrong pick.
There’s the difference.
I like Lively specifically BECAUSE he’s skinny, at least in part. Sure, I think he could stand to put on some muscle, but not too much bulk, I hope. The lighter on his feet he stays, the longer into his career he’ll be able to stay effective, imo.
Willie Cauley-Stein with a heart, brain, motor and maybe even a catch and shoot game? That’s the dream.
