Draft Profile: Dereck Lively II (DECLARED)

[ashes]

Dereck Lively II

Strengths: Might score a little in the paint. Should block some shots and get close to a steal. Good post defender. Very good on the defensive glass. Decent quickness for his size.

Weaknesses: Handles need a little work. Offense is weak overall. Needs to bulk up a bit.

Scout's Take: Lively is an exciting defensive/rebounding big man prospect that teams have been yearning for. He should be able to become an anchor at the 4 or 5 spot and should find himself sliding easily into the starting rotation for years to come.
