Nicholasp27 Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/basketbal...yers/18931.html "Livingston will be able to dominate an NBA game without scoring a single point." " widely recognized as the best high school point guard prospect" u say scoring and rebounding were his strengths...everyone else said passing and court vision were his strengths i'm seriously shocked that anyone would think he wasn't a pg...i've never seen any debate on the subject or seen anyone say he was anything but a pg...

TheRedStripes Posted December 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 thanks nicholas, i didnt really feel like looking all that up haha, but seriously...Livingston has amazing handles and passing ability, he isnt even really much of a scorer...he's a distributor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicholasp27 Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 InsideHoops.com: What parts of your game right now do you think are truly NBA-ready -- your passing, I'd assume -- and what do you want to work on the most? Shaun Livingston: Obviously my passing, ball-handing, and my IQ as far as (ready) for the game. Things to work on: my perimeter shooting and my strength. http://highschoolelite.com/2004/livingston.html "Position: Point Guard" and again, he has not played ONE SINGLE MINUTE at anything but pg since he joined the nba from 2003: http://probasketball.about.com/b/a/007911.htm "star PGs Shaun Livingston and Sebastian Telfair looked good" http://nbadraft.net/highschool.htm has him as a junior ranked 5th (aldridge 4th!)...notice it says 'pg' as his position...so as a jr and sr and in nba he's always been considered a pg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exodus Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 Quote: i'm seriously shocked that anyone would think he wasn't a pg it is funny watching people comment on players they have never seen play. Not only does he have great pg skills on offense but he also has the speed to guard them on D. His speed rivals Felton. Unfortunately he is so weak that it is very questionable how much of an impact he will have in the NBA. he is a project so he would fit right in here. The Clippers have a team that can contend for a title without him. Adding Artest may be enough to put them over the top. I was reading about Elton Brand and he said he was rapper, one of the best 100 alive. He even said "Ask Artest, he will tell you I am the best" lol.

Nicholasp27 Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 Quote: There's nothing in his HS career to indicate that he is a PG. he was a scorer and a rebounder. besides the fact that EVERYONE said he was pg (not g) at least as a jr, sr and in the nba, here is his stat line in hs 30 games 18 ppg 6.2 rpg 5.6 apg he had 35% of the team's assists that year yes he scored and rebounded...but he also got nearly 6apg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin chillzatl Posted December 16, 2005 Admin Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 or was thinking of someone else. That doesn't change anything though. His injury problems are enough to make trading Marvin for him a no-deal. I might trade Childress for him straight up. But that's about as far is it would go.

Adding Artest may be enough to put them over the top. ...Exactly.... plus...he and JJ could turn into the best backcourt in the NBA...but it is true that he is terribly thin, he needs to put on some weight so he can take the punishment over a long season, but if he can do that, he's gonna be awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that's about as far is it would go. what about Al to Indy, Atest to LA, and Livingston, Wilcox to ATL? I think thats the trade most seem to agree on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicholasp27 Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 ok, i thought u truly believed that...no prob, mistakes happen anyway, i wouldn't trade marvin or chill for him either, due to his injury problems however, i would trade al for livingston/wilcox in a heartbeat but not marvin/chill/smoove..if livingston ever stays healthy for 2+ years, then i'd trade a LOT to get him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin chillzatl Posted December 16, 2005 Admin Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 Why would we trade our best player for a backup-talent PF/C and a scawny "pg" who can't stay healthy? We can do better than that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lascar78 Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 Livingston is certainly a PG ... when he plays. He has only played 31 games, a month into his second year. I think he will always be injured. He is the guy I really wanted out of last year's draft, but it seems like so far his body has not kept up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNorthCydeRises Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 Here you go chillzatl. I got the perfect "mistake statement" for you. "My bad guys . . I was thinking of RANDY LIVINGSTON, the overrated and oft-injured PG that went to LSU about 10 years ago, who was supposed to be the next superstar guard. You guys need to chill out. I just made an honest mistake and got my LIVINGSTONS mixed up. There you go man. Use this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDude Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 i'm just not ready to trade marvin in month 2 of a 3 year developmental plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exodus Posted December 17, 2005 Report Share Posted December 17, 2005 We don't need to trade Marvin, just Harrington. The big question mark is whether or not the Clipps are willing to part with Livingston to get Artest. I seriously doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
