Yeah but even so... 3 blocks all nice and cute but the dude is 6'10 and never averaged more than 6.8 boards and 1.1 steals... that's Dwight Powell levels with elite shotblocking.


He does need to improve on the rebounding end, but that does not determine defensive prowess. Myles TUrner is also a poor rebounder for his size, yet a defensive game changer. Both those guys are solid and we'd be lucky if Lively becomes close to either in terms of skill, hopefulyl he won't have their injury history.


Agree... but i still have not so hype for Lively...

I am really sad for Maxi not being part of this amazing German squad. I hope Dennis and him have a long chat and clear the air so that he can make it to the Olympics.

Listen,if Luka doesn't change his attitude I really Don't care if he doesn't Play...he's amazing(the Best we ever had) but his on the court attitude is a big problem...he let's the emotions get the Best of him and starts making bad plays...I know the talent level is a big diference from the other Players but basketball isbnot a one Man sport...Just Ask Giannis or Jokic how they've done with Greece and Serbia so far, and they have a he'll of lot better Players then we do

You should read this and then talk how you don't care. You might not care, but Slovenian basketball is totally dependent on Luka.

Well thats's the problem,we're totaly dependent on one Player...that 2017 team that won the EuroBasket wasn't the Best team in Slovenian history by names,but they were the Best by the way they played....everybody knew their role and they had an amazing coach who gave Young players confidence...Nikolić was similar to Samar back then,but he played the last 3 minutes of the final when Goran(cramps) and Luka were out of the game...we won the GOLD in a tight final without our Best two Players playing the last three minutes...now, the coach reliefa on experienced Players instead of giving the chance to Younger...there are some talented Players coming up,but with this coach I doubt they'll get the chance to Play soon...Slovenian basketball federation is milking Luka's popularity by getting lots of recognition,sponsors but they faill to give the team a proper coach who wouldn't be afraid to tell some Players off...no matter how you put it ,Slovenia won't be contending with these veterans or the Young players,but Young players would get some valuable experienced by being included sooner ,rather than later...for example,Čebašek helped win Slovenia EuroBasket(although he played Little, but he played ok cause his Job was hurting the three when open,which is his only Quality) but Ciani should have gotten to WC cause he is a PF and we lacked size...Bine Prepelic played OK when he was forced to play the PF but he lacks the size...Sergej Macura should have been considered at the PF cause he also has size and is athletic...we need to give these two Players a chance sooner rather than later,cause the PF positions I slim pickings.... unfourtunately next year Murić Will probably be back from the injury and these two Will be left out again(cause Cančar is the undisputed starting PF)...we'll delay our rebuild cause the federation wants to qualify for the Olympics

Exactly, Slovenian problem isn't Luka's behaviour but laughable president and coaching staff.

Obviously Franz is better but NBA is full of worse players than Mo... Powell is the first :lol:



I doubt that...if Mo came to Dallas ,Powell would still be infront of him


Tonight 19+5... mostly against him...
