 Hopefully Brad can find a way to add this gem to the Celts. 9'4" Standing reach. 7'8" wingspan. 8th in the nation in Bpg at duke as a freshman.

 Good Timelord insurance.

I watched Derek all season long (I am a Dukie).  His game is very similar to Timelord's.  He even attempted some 3 pointers, more so earlier in the season (he needs to continue to work on that shot).

I think he will be a good NBA center, once he makes the adjustment.  I would LOVE to see him play for the C's.  TANK's mock draft has him going to GSW at the 20th overall pick - not sure how Brad would pull this off, but I would love to see it happen!

I’m not convinced that Lively is a drastically better prospect than UCLAs Adem Bona.

 Lol. No. Nobody is better than the Legendary Edey.

Edey is a better overall basketball player but Bona is a better fit in the modern NBA. For the Celtics its easy to see Bona mimicking R Williams role on both offense and defense.
