Dereck Lively recaps UNC official visit, discusses other destinations

Posted Jun 14, 2021
4-star center Dereck Lively on his official visit to North Carolina: “UNC was a great first visit and set the bar very high. The environment is something I can see myself being a part of. They mainly said I wouldn't be playing like a traditional big, I would be spreading the floor and even bringing the ball up the court off the rebound and playing more of all positions.” (247 Sports)
