 After Victor at the top, Derek Lively is the next best big in this draft class. Top recruit at a high school who on the outer layer might have seemed to struggle a little bit this year at Duke, but he really had a strong season that projects well on the NBA. An incredible defender in pay presence, he raked shop locks and rebounds the entire season. Never really had immense scoring outputs or took really any jumpers at all, but that really speaks to his role on a really talented Duke team rather than his ability to shoot. Because in his pre-Duke AU days he showed flashes of a jumper, especially in the catch and shoot ability, so I have some confidence that that is still there. A 7-2 freshman with a 7-7 wingspan, a lot to like physically. And for a young freshman, he plays with a really good understanding of the game, especially in positioning. He knows how to get to the dunker spot. He plays really well off a short role in playmaking. I confidence Walker Kester who had a sensational rookie season on the defensive end. Lively has similar defensive upside, just at a younger age right now, so it might take a little more work to polish, but if that jumper comes back to really any capacity of consistency in the future years, he really could be one of the best bigs in the league in the few years because of how good he is in the defensive
