Give him 30 pounds and he can throw out all the hoards of recruiting mail that he’s received. David Stern would personally swim up the Peoria River to personally grab this magician with a ball. Livingston’s potential is through the roof.
Displays impressive point guard skills. Possesses a deceptive first step, solid ball handling ability, and the ability to find the open man. His outside jump shot is erratic at times and sometimes he is too unselfish to a fault. He has pretty solid quickness. Displays a good looking jumper off the dribble (particularly from short and mid-range distances), but is a very mediocre spot up shooter. He seems to push the ball and turn his body on his release, which may be the primary driver of his struggles from the perimeter.
A wonderful athlete he can crash the boards great from the guard spot. With his great vertical leap and long arms, he will snatch rebounds out of midair only to glide up the court, flowing through defenders to eventually lay the ball into the hands of a teammate for an easy bucket after he’s looked off the any defenders. Has the quickness to make his length a factor. Great shot blocker for a point guard due to his size. Doesnt always contest shots on the ball, but was getting better as he progressed. Displayed good anticipation when defending off the ball. Solid rebounder for his position, but not his height. Will get in a good stance and give effort. Has the potential to be very good defensively.
