Timeline

  • 2025
    "The Mavericks already have their deepest roster since drafting Luka Doncic as they have acquired Kyrie Irving, PJ Washington and Daniel Gafford during the past two trade deadlines to go with Dereck Lively in the 2023 draft, plus Klay Thompson and Naji Marshall from the 2024 free agency period."

  • 2024
    "The supporting cast in Dallas is improved only so much as it lets Doncic be the best version of himself: he has a lob threat in rookie center Dereck Lively II, a defensive enforcer and spot-up shooter in Grant Williams, and pogo stick finisher in Derrick Jones Jr."

  • 2023
    "Dallas Mavericks rookie Dereck Lively II has begun his NBA career with a level of shooting accuracy that’s almost hard to believe, especially for a first year player."
