#58 - Chris Livingston

[M-C-G]

Chris Livingston is a big shooting guard/wing with a lot of burst and above the rim ability. He didn’t have the most productive season at Kentucky but has really good tools and still has a lot of upside to grow into.

He has really good athleticism and an NBA body with broad shoulders, very good upper body strength and a lot of speed.

Livingston is at his best in a fast paced game and he’s a nightmare to defend when he gets the ball in the open court. He’s got lateral agility, an attacking style and he plays above the rim with ease. He’s got a creative layup package with hang time, up and under’s and the ability to finish through contact.

Livingston is bouncy when jumping off of one foot or two and can bring the house down with his dunking ability.

Isn’t yet much of a 3pt shooter. Has decent touch around the rim and from the line and should develop into a capable floor spacer in time.

Livingston doesn’t always show the best body language, something that needs to be cleaned up if he’s going to excel at the next levels.

Needs to work on finishing with hi

"Please don't draft my client because somebody else promised to draft my client." Not sure I get the "draft promise" logic.

I can see for an old team like Bucks, an agent might figure his guy might have a better chance to fit and get an opportunity within the next few years, I guess.

May also be that agent thought he had a "promise" with somebody else, but it wasn't actually a "promise" and the team broke that conditional promise when somebody else better lasted to their pick.

I'm not sure, maybe the promise was he would be drafted so he didn't withdraw from the draft? Or maybe the promise was that we would keep him on the roster if he stayed in.

It feels like we would have had to guaranteed him a real roster spot and not a 2 way if his agent was telling other teams not to draft him. Why else do that for the last pick of the draft?

[Ron Swanson]

It's possible we told him he'd be rostered. We did the same thing with Kalatzaikis (don't spell check me) and that was clearly a cost-cutting move and to essentially make it easier to open up a cheap roster spot. Unlike Georgios though, Livingston at least has some legit NBA potential.

Bucks drafting Bronny James next year confirmed.

[craig]

1. The "promise" thing, the simplest explanation is that it was the Bucks that made it.
2. But given the uncertainties of the draft and who's available, it's also hypothetically possible that somebody else made a conditional promise. But didn't follow through, because somebody they liked better than Livingston unexpectedly was still on the board?
3. Support for the Bucks having been the team would seem to follow from the story that after working out with us, he stopped working out for other teams.

Bucks drafting Bronny James next year confirmed.

If they have the draft position to have a shot at the James Gang package deal, this will have been a very bad season.

[midranger]

Lebron/Klutch will be deciding who selects Bronny.

2nd rounder hardly do especially players drafted by the Bucks.

[tedbrogen]

If his agent was telling teams not to pick him so the Bucks could take him at 58, that means either a guaranteed contract and/or guaranteed roster spot. Only thing that makes sense.

[mediocrityrules]

I mean it's pick 58. Do we really care that much? More chance he doesn't work out than does.

I like they identified a guy they wanted, who seems like he would have gone earlier, but they got him at 58 by promising something.

I have to keep reminding myself that Covid has probably slowed the curve a little on younger guys development

The new CBA makes keeping 2nd rounders a smart decision on cash strapped teams. Expect them both to make it and have 14 on the bench and 3 2-way players.

He's just getting in his offseason reps to prepare for next year's posting, that's all.
