How has the 7’1” Duke freshman fared for Blue Devils? All you need to knowDereck Lively has a lot of upsideThe 7-foot-1 center out of Duke could be a great asset for the Dallas Mavericks moving forward. Although Derek Lively suffered injuries in the past, the youngster has shown some top-notch athleticism at his size.Lively doesn't show much potential as an offensive force.

This will definitely come to fruition if he bulks up and fills out into his frame.There is also some potential for Lively to develop a shooting stroke from outside the perimeter. However, it is also important to note that this will be a work in progress.It is certainly more important to make a note of the system Dereck Lively will be in. As a big man in Dallas playing alongside Luka Doncic, he will not be required to be an offensive force. Primarily tasked with defensive work and rim-running, Lively has every opportunity to be a successful player on the Mavericks.Read: What is a Traded Player Exception?
