2026 NBA draft thread

[cow]

I actually think Lively IS a 5-out center, tbh. Not in an a "stand in the corner and be ready to shoot" way, but in a Draymond Green "handle the ball while setting screens and dish it to a cutter heading downhill" sort of way. That's kind of the more modern version of "5-out" and the Mavs were in the process of implementing those actions with Lively when his injury flared up again. 

I don't see it, personally.  And let's not forget that Draymond is willing to pull the trigger from distance when defenders pull too far off which is something Lively has been unwilling to do.
