Congratulations: NBA Mavericks star Dereck Lively ll wins The Rookie Of The Year Award…

For the Dallas Mavericks to make noise once again in the playoff race, a change must be made, and with two perennial All-Stars Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving heading up the backcourt, where else is there to change but the frontcourt?

Enter Dereck Lively II, coming off an impressive season with the Duke Blue Devils. The 7-1 center brings his 7-7 wingspan into the paint, where he sends shots away at an impressive clip (2.4 blocks per game). With his size and athletic ability, he would seem to be a welco

me change to a squad that has lacked both in recent years.
