It is just my opinion. Could be wrong. I did not focus much on Johnson last year when it become apparent the Mavs were going to suck. I have watched him more since he was drafted, but certainly not a deep dive. I think he does some things better at Center than PF now. I just personally feel the best case upside for his career is if he can be a real good PF who can also play center. Maybe it is a preference. I have needed to step back my fondness for Lively because he has not been able to be on the floor. Although if my vision for Lively comes to reality, I think Lively is a player who finishes important games. If true, Morez will need to be a PF if he wants to be on the court in important minutes. Time will tell if Lively can stay on the court though.
