I think we need to start listening to what PDA and the rest of the front office is saying, instead of trying to impose our own agenda into their statements. They said prior to the draft that they wanted to improve outside shooting first, along with better passing and ballhandling. I took them at their word and looked at all the possibilities in the draft and came up with Stauskas. They also said that they were looking for a pass first PG that hopefully could defend and had some size. I came up with Payton. Turns out that the two players they had at the top of their board were Stauskas and Payton. Not rocket science folks if you pay attention. So having said that, how in the world does Jarrett Jack fit into that equation? Jack is a shooter. He's a SG in a PG's body. That's not a criticism, just a fact.
As to Livingston's knee's, I have no idea. I can't predict when the next tornado is going to strike either. But I suspect that he won't be very expensive, and therefore not much of a financial risk. He had a very good season last year. He's always been talented, and at one time, thought to be god's gift to the PG community. An exaggeration perhaps, but we'll never know because of his horrible injury. He's a player that knows who he is, plays to his strengths, and doesn't try to do what he can't. I like those kind of players.
