One hidden effect of having a shot blocker now is you can be more aggressive guarding on the perimeter. Bless Josh Green’s heart, he would battle wings but good players could get to their spots and get good looks. More difficult when you have a shot blocker lurking in the lane.

The value of that however is slightly diminished when Lively will have to learn the complicated defensive rules that always require defensive players to move. Big men MUST have high motors to be able to reposition in the NBA vs College.
