Young Chandler was a long time ago but I remember him being more fluid and explosive than Lively. Both were highly rated, offensive raw players leaving high school. Mavs have better brought him in. It does sort of bother me, he didn’t get measured at the combine. But that is a small gripe.
He will need time but you can’t tell me he can’t play 20-25 minutes right away. I mean he would be playing with a generational point. Just have him do 3-4 things and slowly bring him along with the rest of his game.
On paper it should be easier for Lively. Chandler entered the league with star expectations (2nd pick). Bulls asked him to post up and create for himself. League wasn´t ready for a mobile defender/rim runner and it took nearly 10 years for him to find his role. He wasted away on some of the worst teams in league history (New Orleans/Charlotte dumpster fire). Add some minor injuries and you have one of the biggest busts of the 00s. Mavs basically got him for for free.
