Shaun Livingston's long arms and 6'7" height make it easy for him to pass or shoot over smaller defenders in pick and roll situations. I would run the side pick and roll at the free throw line extended instead of the high pick and roll at the top of the key so that he'll end up in the mid-range area if he's open to shoot since he can hit those middies pretty reliably. If you can get into a close range jumper he's almost automatic at a 96 rating.

Livingston can also post-up smaller guards and get lots of easy points in the paint if the defense doesn't double team him.
