Welcome to the first ever Jazzfanz salary cap draft Current Draft addition.

[Strutter]

Lively's a good pick up this late. Feels like a lot of solid center options slipped.

 

[Coach Ellis]

I wanted to draft him a couple picks ago but I kept passing on him till now.

Shot Blocking:
His primary strength is rim protection, where he uses his athleticism, length, and timing to block shots effectively, often by going straight up and disrupting attempts at the rim

Versatility:
Beyond just blocking shots, Lively can switch onto perimeter players in ball screens, providing valuable defensive flexibility for the team

Mobility and Length:
His 7'5" wingspan and ability to move quickly allow him to cover ground effectively, contest shots, and deter opponents from driving to the basket.

Defensive Awareness:
Lively demonstrates strong defensive instincts and the ability to read plays, which contributes to his impact beyond just his physical tools

Impact on Team Defense:

His presence in the paint significantly impacts the opponent's offensive effectiveness near the rim, making him a deterrent and a significant reason for the Dallas Mavericks' defensive improvements

Good pick

Is it a hard cap? Or can we go over say 1-2 mil?

I mean this is just for fun right? No need to be too strict.

Part of the fun is strategizing. But then if you suddenly change the rules because someone is doing special pleading for their interests, I don’t know, it’s just not as fun.

Ok. Now I’m going to take my favorite person in the NBA and mention that I still hope he ends up on the Jazz someday.

Same boat here. I'd really love for him to finish his career with the Jazz, but I doubt it happens. Here's hoping.
