I SO badly want to give it to Luka.
I mean the dude had a 33 point triple double, the game icing 3pt shot, barely complained to officials the entire game, AND played defense like crazy the whole game. But what can I say? Dereck Lively was incredible.

Does DL’s middle name start with an H? Cause he delivers like a global logistics company. dhl.com.
Pessimism doesn’t make you smart, just pessimistic.
Luka, sorry
DP DNP Lively makes me smile.

Luka is probably the correct answer, but like the award’s namesake, he’s going to get passed over often by the fun outlier. Lively was phenomenal tonight.

Me when I hear Dereck Lively's or Luka's name tomorrow from anyone:

Lively really... I mean really made a difference in the interior.
On both ends.

Shout out to Grant Williams as well, had a rough start but was awesome rest of the way - was the best defender we had on Wemby

Imma give it to the rook we should have started in this game. Lively outscored and outrebounded Wemby off the bench
But if he gets that many minutes consistently I guess it doesn't matter whether he starts or comes off the bench, as Jason Terry said, he didn't care if he started the game as long as he got to finish it

Dereck Lively vs Wembanyama tonight ✅ 16 PTS > 15 PTS ❌ ✅ 10 REB > 5 REB ❌ ✅ 7/8 FG > 6/9 FG ❌ ✅ 2/3 FT > 0/1 FT ❌ ✅ 1 TO > 5 TO ❌ — Looks like they had the wrong generational rookie center ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

A rookie on the floor in the closing minutes of a tight game. Ending up with 16 and 10, with a plus 20. I mean 2 way Luka is amazing, but got to give this one to the rook.

Lively is the guy we all wanted. And he's ready now. Wow.

On my bingo card for the Mavs this year, I didn’t have “what to do about the non Lively minutes at center” as the Mav’s bigggest personnel problem. But, here we are.

I think Duke used him wrong or Tyson coached him up. or both.

So--who gets my Dirkie?
It's not going to be DJJ who was--there. Not going to be Kleber who was--solid--for 23 minutes. Only scored 6 points...I would like more from him. 7 rebounds, 2 of them were OREB. That's good. 1 block. I'm sure someone will mention his +/- of -12...but I pay less attention to that than most because it at least partly comes down to team matchups. Grant williams?...with a pretty good shooting night--17 points. 6 good rebounds, 1 block. I don't think so... Kyrie Irving? Not a good shooting night, but still managed 22 points. 6 assists. Important down the stretch. THJ just went out and did his little ole THJ stuff. He wasn't hot, but as a volume shooter, he usually scores points. We just have to hope that he scores enough that it doesn't hurt us too much. This night was ok. Josh Green. Some good defense, a few points. An important part of the team. I wish he would score more. Maybe he will. Dante Exum only played 8 minutes, but I think he was solid. He's an actual point guard--playing behind Luka and Kyrie. Only so much time to go around. Luka Doncic. Also not the best shooting night, but he is clutch. A solid 33 points, 14 rebounds, and 10 assists. This man is a player! I want to give him the Dirkie--But he's going to have more nights like this--and better. No cigar tonight. Ok. The excitement builds! Derek Lively II. Great shooting night...16 points. 10 great rebounds--5 of them OREB. No blocks?...hmmm. While Derek Lively maybe wasn't my first draft choice, I was still happy with him. I'm also thrilled with his rookie debut. So I'm giving my Dirkie to Derek Lively II.
