MAVS NEWS: Grimes Trade Completed | Luka "Ecstatic" About Klay

[JaxRyder]

Thank you. Agree 100%.  We get wrapped up in lusting for players who can do everything, which takes them away from where they make the greatest impact. So many C's want to develop skills to play the perimeter, and they drift. And we ooh and aah at the skills. But do we want the world's tallest SG or the world's best interior dominance in a big man?

I like the Tyson Chandler example - he would hit his one to two shots a game from the elbow, which would allow him to impact how he was defended as he set screens. And then he would pound the rim. That's what they have been teaching Lively (and I suspect Gafford will end up in that school as well).

If we run the post up split motion offense i'd love to see Lively in the post with the possibility of going baseline with his speed or going  straight into the pick and roll with the ball handler.
