NBA Comparisons: |
Optimistic Outlook: Penny Hardaway |
Pessimistic Outlook: Reece Gaines |
Positives: Excellent playmaker and
floor leader. Excellent court vision and even shows
some flash in his passing ability. Tall versatile ball
handler who could cause matchup problems with his height
on smaller point guards. Scores when he needs to, but
more of a pass first player who is very unselfish. Excellent
ball handling skills for a player his size. Skillfully
handles the point guard position with poise and savvy.
Negatives: He is way too skinny. Livingston
is built like a twig. Could use a year at Duke to bulk
up and gain experience. Most likely not NBA ready. Needs
more seasoning although he is really talented. Needs
to improve every aspect about his shooting to be at
the NBA level. Exceptional shooter for a high schooler,
but won't cut it in the NBA. Because of his size he
is not as fast as other point guards in the league.
Also Livingston is not a freakish athlete who is average
athletic wise. |
