Of these two young stars with bright futures, who would you take? Harris is 23 and Shaun is 2 and 1/2 years younger.

I was impressed with how Shaun is coming along and thought it would be great if somehow the Lakers landed him. I think Shaun will develope into a really controlled floor general. However, I'm seeing Devin's quick speed and his ability to move his feet with Wade and I'm really impressed. I was thinking this is a great comparison since they are at about the same level in their careers.

I pesonal don't know who I would pick now.

I would love to have either of those two players. Devin is faster, but Shaun will be a better defender. He has great size for the PG spot (he could possibly be a point forward). I would probably go for Shaun, but only by a slim margin. But the Lakers aren't getting either of those two players anyway.

I'd take either one in a heartbeat.

IMO, Shaun has much greater potential but is a bigger project. He's got crazy size and court vision and is already a good defender, but he's already proven to be injury prone, not a scorer and he appears to be on the Kate Moss diet. He needs to get stronger and develop a jump shot fast.

Devin is closer to reaching his potential and is more of a speedy combo guard who can score and pass. He's shown flashes this year, but with JT in front of him, it'll be hard for him to get lots of PT.

You wouldn't go wrong with either player, but I'd say the ceiling is higher with Shaun. That kid's got length, speed, and amazing handles. He looks to be a natural born PG in a 6-7 frame.

Shaun.

I like Devin's game, but Shaun. He's going to be more dangerous when he grows into his body.

Livingston.

His IQ is off the chart. Better size. Equally great athlete.

Forget upside. If he stagnates now, he's still a hell of a PG that needs minutes.

Livingston-Ties with Kobe for my favorite player

If this kid doesnt get injured, he will no doubt be something special

I like Harris, gets hustle points and likes to drive in, like me

but I have to go with my main man Shaun #14 "Geezy" Livingston straight from Illinois
