Final 2023 NBA Mock Draft: Pistons, Hornets swing for fences on upside
2023 NBA Mock Draft
Lively is one of the prospects that has really shot up draft boards in recent days. He reportedly had a very good workout for Orlando and he would give them the shot blocking and lob threat that they currently lack.
After Walker Kessler made such an impact last season with his rim protection, teams are going to be looking for the next overlooked defensive talent and Lively might be it. This would give Orlando one of the biggest teams in the NBA, and along with Ausar Thompson, a big boost to their defense.
