I think the use of Lively in the corner is an attempt to lessen the impact of the Boston-style systems. IF you get the best defender switched onto Lively then he goes to the corner and is enough of a threat that he can't be left then Luka gets to pick the player to attack out of the remaining 4. Now run the P & R with the 4 (Wash/Naji/Maxi) and the best defender is no longer able to help/switch. At that point we hope Naji can do some of the things DJJ did offensively as a flyer.
