Lively 3 will probably come in time but no need to rush it with this team now. I understand the whole spread floor thing but for this team with Luka, an elite rim runner puts way more stress on a defense than him sitting in the corner.
How he can take advantage of smaller players will be huge in his development. No one posts any more and I don’t think we will see many Lively post ups. But how can he take advantage when teams put a Jayson Tatum or another forward on him. Can he make it really tough for these wings to deal with him inside? If he can, you really make it tough for defenses.
Excellent point. Luka having high performing PnR partner(s) creates more gravity and, in theory, opens up the perimeter shots even more. Having someone like DLive who can make distributions off the roll makes this offense even more potential.
