Do you think the more Lively and some of the newer players play together they can fill in the gaps?
Our D isn't trending backwards. Our D was trash last season which is one of the reasons we faceplanted so hard, we're actually averaging slightly better defense than last season. It's our O taking a huge step forward that has things looking better. Having a real center like Lively has been huge on both ends. Luka doesn't need to be nearly as precise to get him the ball down low as he has with our other centers and really we should be looking for him even more. Grant Williams actually being able to hit an open 3 unlike last year's versions of Bullock or DFS is helping too
