Lively was the difference maker. Came back on with 2 mins to go and the Mavs went on a 9-2 run. His defensive effort was critical in the win tonight.

His vertical scoring ability as a lob threat completely changes the dynamic of the Mavs offense. Stopping Luka and Lively going downhill is going to be a challenge for the league with Luka’s elite playmaking and scoring ability

I can see him being a perimeter threat one day since he has pretty good form, but I don't see it happening any time soon. He has too much to work on to commit to what is likely to be an inefficient play.
