After showing off impressive potential in his first three NBA Summer League games, Dallas Mavericks rookie Dereck Lively II joined the Mavs Step Back Podcast to discuss a variety of topics, including how he thinks he fits alongside Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving, as well as whether or not he feels like he’s ready to be Dallas’ starting center from the jump. Enjoy!

Get this man on locked on mavs! Or SlightlyBiased!
This is the first time I've actually heard this young man speak. I like everything he's saying, seems confident and grounded. Excited to see how he develops once he connects with Luka/Kyrie!
Sure enough as the rest of the season played out nothing, the Mavs tanked to make sure they would keep this pick.
I was disappointed then, but now, alright, good move!
I honestly love this guy, really mature to be embracing his role and staying humble. He's super underrated right now but people are gonna find out soon, he effects every single shot in the paint and rebounds! Can't wait to see him start stretching the floor but one step at a time.
