Maybe he is traded eventually, but with Lively's injury history they need a good innings eater. He is best in 4 or so minute stretches where he goes all out and then gets a rest. That is his best role. Some matchups give him trouble and he is not a great defensive rebounder but I think with the right partner he can be very effective.
That last sentence was crucial. I don't know if any of the PGs in our draft range are supposed to be elite P&R point guards, but that is what he needs. I'm guessing he benefits mightily from Tyus Jones.
