Around SBN: Explaining Jeremy Lin's Early, Surprising Success

Shawn Livingston

As a Wizards fan and a Bandwagon Grizzlies fan, I really hope that the Griz would consider signing Shawn Livingston.

I got a chance to watch all of his games with the Wiz.  He has regained most of his mobility that he lost due to his gruesome injury.  He is 6ft7, so he can post up any point guard guarding him to help him get closer to basket anytime and he can D up any PG and cause them to alter shots and stay in front of them even without having blazing speed.

I was impressed how much of floor leader he was with the wiz during his brief period of time with the team. He has a great basketball IQ.   He may only be able to play Ginobeli type minutes (25 minutes) per game, but he would be a great closer for this team. 

Thoughts?

I'm totally down with Livingston...

I think he’s great, love his chance to come back, and think he’ll eventually become a really valuable asset again. He’s going to be more of a 2 or 3 after the injury, and could fill a big need on the Grizzlies for cheap.

With the way we’ve been taking on reclamation projects lately (Z-Bo, Tinsley, Marcus Williams), I could easily see it happening — especially if Ronnie Brewer gets away.

Actually you're right...

And he was waived for economic reasons. He’s much further along in rehab now though.
