MAVS NEWS: Luka Is Hurt, But is Trudging On | DLive's Mom Passes Away| Maxi OUT

[Mavs2021]

There is more to being a good defender than blocked shots. He has always had a negative defensive impact on the court, most likely due to his limited lateral movement and lack of defensive awareness to make up for it. 

I would also argue that it does not make sense to have more than one project at a given position. We need all development minutes going to lively with the rest going to seasoned vets (Holmes, Powell, maxi)

Well he was +4.1 ON/OFF last season, so maybe he started figure some things out.

I don´t see the problem. He competes with Holmes and Powell for minutes. If he outplays them, he gets the minutes. If he does not, he does not. Don´t see how that impacts Lively.

The only reason Powell is a seasoned vet, is that he did not play the first three years of his NBA career with MCW. If that had happened, the only vet he could have become, was an animal doctor.
