Shaun Livingston

Sun Jun 19, 2005 12:47 pm

Is this guy really a star in 2 or 3 yrs

Everybody talks how is future star

I never seen him play so I cant talk about how he play

Does he really have fantastic dribbing and passing skills

Well he is a 6'8 point guard, so he could be molded into a pretty good defender with his legnth. I'm no Clipper fan, but from what I've seen, his jumper is definitely improving and his passing, dribbling and courtvision is already superb for his age. The one thing that bothers everyone is that his jumper needs some work and he is extremely weak and he might need to bulk up a bit to take some contact.

So who would you compare Shaun to

Darius Miles

Yeah, less athletic, smaller, much much more talented, PG version of Darius. Or perhaps black, bigger, skinnier, more athletic version of Danny Devito with baskeball skills.

so pretty much he's not much like darius miles then :lol:

i'd say he's similar to penny hardaway w/o the explosiveness when he first came into the league

Yup, Penny Hardaway is a very good comparison. He's longer than Penny was, but not as explosive or athletic, he does have the speed and quickness, and his defense is very good for a rookie PG out of highschool. He's also got great vision and passing ability, and his handles are amazing.

His jumpshot was very weak last year, but he's said to have been working on it this summer, and he does need to gain more strength, but he can definately be very good.

He shows flashes of brilliance. So he plays normal like everyone else, but every once in awhile he does something really great or really cool. He has no problem dribbling, but I heard he sometimes does crazy stuff (dribbling) off the court. One thing about him is when I see him shoot jumpshots, he has a loooooong release. I'm talking closer to 1 second before release.

I'd call him a 6' 8" Andre Miller.

But he's so young...he's got massive amounts of upside.
