Did you not see him close out to the corner very slowly all season? And he’s faster than Gafford!
It is extremely obvious that playing them together is the dumbest possible idea.
Horse pucky on you being the bigger fan. "No one of his size can do what he can't do." This must come as an enormous surprise to Wemby. Not to mention Bam, of whom my player comparison for Lively is a physically stretched-out version of. Not to mention Gobert, who was the poster child for such criticisms until he developed himself in such a way that they no longer applied. And Lively's BBIQ and learning curve flattening are many times greater than Gobert's.
Your concern may hold true for this year's playoffs. Next year? Aw, hell no. His switchability at his enormous size is going to be one of the traits that make him a significant star in the league.
