Isn't that the sort of thing Bam is prized for? *That's* why he's no dinosaur. I'm sure it would come as a big surprise to a great many NBA fans that Bam would have been a reach in this draft because he's a low-value defensive center.This. The #1 reason for hope with Lively is that he’s fast enough to switch based on what he’s shown and scouting reports. He has a real chance to be a non-Dino big. He has some Bam in him.
Given JG and DL's passing skills, not to mention Luka, Kai, Curry, et al., this could be a great shot-creating team this year - if only Luka learns to knock off the Beard-Helio horsecrap.
This reason and his character. He’s got a great story and i think he will be the type of hard worker that has a high floor
