He was definately a beast this last month, and next season if he get's the minutes he will be averaging 7+ APG. Livingston just needs to get stronger and improve his shot, and the sky really is the limit, he has great vision, passing skills, and is already a very good defender.
Like they keep saying on Fox Sports, he needs to spend the summer at the buffets and in the gym. If Livingston can stay healthy and develop in the summer, the Clipshow has a great chance at making the playoffs next year. Maybe they can emulate the Bulls of this year since the Clippers are finally developing some continuity.
He's going to be a heck of a good player no matter what he does over the summer. He's got all the tools to be a great point guard. All he needs to do is get some meat on the bones, hit the weight room, and work on the jumper.
He's already good even, a lot of people don't know because they haven't seen him play, but outside of numbers, watching him play is where you really see how good he is. If the Clippers can add some outside shooting, re-sign Simmons and Rebracca, and maybe Jaric, depending on what happens, things can be good. Also if Maggette can start playing more of a team game it would help a lot, he's a great talent, but the team plays so much better when he's out.
I loved Livingston coming out of high school and this was the first month I really followed Livingston since he was getting drafted. I have to say I was very impressed by his play. It was one of the only months where he was healthy. Still only a teenager, one can only imagine what he is going to be like in his prime. He is going to be one hell of a player one day...
Any high-school skinny point guard would get doubters. Although loaded with potential, many took the safe route and described him as a 1-2 year project. But he's surpassed those expectations so far.
