We got a banger in the middle with Gafford so I think we need Lively to develop into a stretch big so he can open up the middle for Cooper or are we just waiting on Santi and Morez to do their best and forget how well Lively could hit the 3 last time we caught a peek of him trying to do that.
What we need from Lively isn't some new skill to magically appear from nowhere - we just need him to get in the game on a regular basis.
I don't know how the idea that Lively is a potential stretch 3 came into being, but it's absurd. He has made ZERO 3's in his career. He has attempted 2. In total in his NBA career, he has attempted 11 shots beyond 10 feet (and only made 3 shots, total). Where he has shown perimeter-playing skills (when he has played) is on defense, not offense.
