Obviously, due to a horrific knee injury suffered at age 21, we never got to see what an unleashed Livingston looked like, but it’s not hard to imagine him using his uncommon length and offbeat tempo at point guard to throw off defenders in a similar manner to SGA. Though the Bulls' Markkanen has regressed a little in his third season after averaging nearly 19 points per game last season, he still has all the makings of an ideal floor-spacing big man in the modern NBA — in other words, he has all the makings to develop into Gallinari, who’s averaged 18.9 ppg.
