OO, IF (IF) he gets to become the “starter” following a Capela trade, he will be right at 23 years old and beginning his 4th year. He was the 6th overall pick. He went from 12 minutes his rookie season to 20 to 23 last season. Any reason to expect more from Lively?
Personally, I say yes.
Took a while for the world to figure out OO’s best position was the 5.
He had Capela in front of him.
Call me crazy, but I feel like Lively knows EXACTLY what he is - a defensive 5 who needs to master the screen/roll game on offense. I don’t think it’s impossible that he could get there before age 23.
