    because he was injured last year and the beginning of this year, and he's played better than Telfair since coming back. Sam Cassell has been keeping him on the bench while Steve Blake has been keeping Telfair on the bench.

      Livingston is actually good. The dude has had numerous 10 assist games. I think he had a triple double this year too.

        You cant tell if any player strait out of high school will live up to there hype untill there 5th year in the league IMO, Because most players come out of college and that would be there college year.....but there is one gifted player out there from high school that you can tell will be one of the best.(LBJ)

          Yeah...I'd say he has two years before we can judge whether or not he's a bust.

          Wasn't he the first 6 foot straight from HS person to ever go into the NBA?

            Okay?

            But still, Livingston is by far and away the better player. Now and in the future.

              So because you're taking more shots you're improving? Oooooooook. He acutally averaged 7 points his rookie year up a whopping 2 PPG this year. His FG% is identical to last year. UNDER 40% Wow, that's horrible. 3PT shooting is up, but yet his FT shooting is getting worse.

              There is no real tangible improvement. Just more minutes, and he shoots more FG attempts.

                I still think he should have went to Louisville. He could have played in the final four his freshman year. The documentary was good, but I thought he got into the hype and made a choice he thought was right for him and his family.

                  As a person I really like Telfair...but his game is weak. It's so obvious the kid is only looking to pass and really doesn't trust his jumper. I'm really rooting for him to do well but I don't think that their can really be an argument right now that he has been a bust thus far.

                    Highschool Player + Point Guard + NBA = Patience.

                    This is why no one should have drafted him in the first place. He'll take atleast 5 years to develop maybe longer....and he SHOULD take that long. Yet, people on here are already calling him a bust.

                      When you are hyped that much and perform terribly...you are a bust. He has shown no significant improvement.

                        I still find it unfair to consider him a "bust" after TWO SEASONS.

                          But one can consider him a bust thus far...I mean its funny how everyone who is trying to defend him has to say he's BRUTAL because he's young. No one can justify not considering him a bust because of anything he's done on the court.

                            I thought the show was very good. His team won three straight high school championships. Regardless of what level you play on that is nice. As far as his nba career thus far, its hard to really call him a bust imo. As a six foot point guard it is probably more difficult to have a huge impact in the nba out of high school compared to Dwight Howard who is a manchild who can cause havoc and put up numbers due to his size and strength alone.

                              He's a freaking point guard, toughest position to play as a rookie, and he came out of high school, Give em time, *******. It's only his 2nd year.

                                There's a reason Shaun Livingston was a top 5 pick, while Portland was criticized for taking Telfair at 13. I just don't see the same potential in Telfair.
