I don't have any grand aspirations, but if shooting three pointers is ever going to be a thing for Lively he needs to at least get 40-50 up this year. Not the 2-3 that Cuban said, but just something. You just need to start dipping your toe in the water if it is ever going to be a thing.
Can you imagine a 7'2" guy getting the defensive rebound then acting as a trailing 3pt shooter? Didn't some guy, Dirk Something?, make a career out of that type of action? He was pretty good, as I recall.
