He's still an impact player when he's on the court, but his numbers haven't increased much. He has more offense to his game now, but doesn't use it for whatever reason. Last but not least, he has a little more Tyson Chandler in him than we thought. Chandler couldn't stay healthy early in his career either. I think Lively misses way too much time to get rid of Gafford. I think the center combo needs to stay. Make changes elsewhere.
Yeah, I'm a little disappointed in Lively and OMax for not stepping up.
Both look to have incredible potential but for some reason they just aren't taking their games to the next level respectively.
Lively is just too injury prone and OMax seems to be going down the same path as Green in terms of development.
Lively will always be an impact to some degree, but my hopes for OMax was to develop similar as DFS and at least make the rotation this year.
I still blame Kidd for some of that lack of development though because OMax doesn't seem to get enough of an opportunity to play through his mistakes.
