|
|
Of these two young stars with bright futures, who would you take? Harris is 23 and Shaun is 2 and 1/2 years younger.
I was impressed with how Shaun is coming along and thought it would be great if somehow the Lakers landed him. I think Shaun will develope into a really controlled floor general. However, I'm seeing Devin's quick speed and his ability to move his feet with Wade and I'm really impressed. I was thinking this is a great comparison since they are at about the same level in their careers.
I pesonal don't know who I would pick now. |

I would love to have either of those two players. Devin is faster, but Shaun will be a better defender. He has great size for the PG spot (he could possibly be a point forward). I would probably go for Shaun, but only by a slim margin. But the Lakers aren't getting either of those two players anyway. |

I'd take either one in a heartbeat.
IMO, Shaun has much greater potential but is a bigger project. He's got crazy size and court vision and is already a good defender, but he's already proven to be injury prone, not a scorer and he appears to be on the Kate Moss diet. He needs to get stronger and develop a jump shot fast.
Devin is closer to reaching his potential and is more of a speedy combo guard who can score and pass. He's shown flashes this year, but with JT in front of him, it'll be hard for him to get lots of PT. |

You wouldn't go wrong with either player, but I'd say the ceiling is higher with Shaun. That kid's got length, speed, and amazing handles. He looks to be a natural born PG in a 6-7 frame. _________________ Dumbledore closed his eyes and slowly lowered his head before Kupchak. "Teach me," he whispered. |

Shaun.
I like Devin's game, but Shaun. He's going to be more dangerous when he grows into his body. |

Livingston.
His IQ is off the chart. Better size. Equally great athlete.
Forget upside. If he stagnates now, he's still a hell of a PG that needs minutes. _________________ Resident Car Nut.

Livingston-Ties with Kobe for my favorite player
If this kid doesnt get injured, he will no doubt be something special
I like Harris, gets hustle points and likes to drive in, like me
but I have to go with my main man Shaun #14 "Geezy" Livingston straight from Illinois _________________ A Clipper/Laker Fan
