I would actually prefer for a center like Lively to learn how to play with his back towards the basket while keeping his ability to move the feet on defense. This would prevent opponents to put a wing on him and just switch any PnR action. Basically the thing that makes centers like Gobert a liability in playoffs. I think that would have far more value than him being able to shoot a three decently. Based on his free throw shooting he is quite far away from shooting threes anyway.
