Fairly nice move for Miami, I don't mind Livingston and Quinn running the point. Any idea of when Livingston would be looking at playing? He's doubtful for the season start right?
Nah he's jumping right in at training I think he's roaring and ready to go?
Yeah not sure about Quinn in the long-run, he's not showed much, like he can set up plays and hit the open jumper but he's slow and small, probably a backup at best, in my opinion anyway.
But now we have 4 options at the point, Chris Quinn, Marcus Banks, Shaun Livingston and rookie who was meant to be a lottery pick, Mario Chalmers.
You already know my opinion on Quinn. I think Marcus Banks has more to show than Quinn, he was a high pick and he's a good athlete, he's a good defender and he is quick and shoots the ball at a high rate. He hasn't been given a proper opportunity and when he was he averaged like 10 and 5 in limited minutes, maybe this is the time for him.
As for Livingston he was really hyped coming into the league, and hey there is no shame in averaging 8 and 5 in your rook season as an 18 year old point guard straight from HS, bit of sophomore slump the next year but the 3rd season at 21 put up 9.3 and 5 apg before popping his knee.
He's still only 23, about the age most seniors from college who come into the NBA are, and he's got loads of talent. If we can nurture him and bring him along well, put him up next to Beasley and Wade and we've got a strong backcourt and beast up front.
As for Chalmers, everyones seen him, the guy can flat out ball, hopefully he stays off the dope though!!
