Scouting Report
- Outstanding athlete who has been limited at the division one level by an absence of a perimeter game
-
Majority of his point production comes between the mid-range and the basket
-
Game isn't well-equipped for the half court set, especially because he doesn't use his dribble well enough
-
Even worse, his jumper off the dribble remains undependable unless he can get within sixteen feet, and from that point he is not going to be able to get a lot of cushion from the defense
-
Can compensate with his outstanding elevation, he bursts off the floor to create vertical spacing and shoots down at the rim
-
When there is a seam, he'll go even further into the defense, and from there his athleticism simply takes over
-
Hangs, twists, extends, he finds a way to finish
-
Considered by many to be one of the more electrifying players in college basketball
-
Livebody excels in transition
-
Also able to get high for rebounds, he does a superb job of cleaning the glass from the backcourt
-
Junior college transfer
-
Played at two different schools community colleges before coming to Depaul
-
MVP of the 1999 Junior College All-Star game.
