Dereck Lively On Track For 5-Star Rating, Begins UNC Official Visit Wednesday

Posted Jun 9, 2021
Class of 2022 center Dereck Lively's size, length, and ability to get off the floor is not fair. I love the way he rolls off-ball screens on offense and his rim protection on defense. It is easy to see why blue blood programs Duke, Kentucky, and North Carolina want him on campus. He is definitely worthy of a fifth star and begins his UNC official visit Wednesday. (247 Sports)
