I also feel that while defense is needed, if you get a truly skilled offensive wing you have to strongly consider that. You can never have enough skilled scorers in the current NBA.
It is a really interesting debate. I think in a few years, we may look back and wonder why in the heck did we not take him at 10, but it will take some time. I can already tell you he will need to be subbed out if we played Jokic. He would get destroyed. That is not a knock on Lively either.
A slight trade down to 12-14 and draft Lively would be intriguing though. Mavs would need to like several players though if they traded down though. Right now, I don't think he would be one of my top 3-4 choices if we stayed at 10.
