30Assists 342 Report post Posted June 24, 2011 Yeah - pretty happy with this pick, too. With nothing in the first round, we did the best we could. I could see the guy being a defensive version of Lee. Man....well, the Spurs began their dynasty in the strike year, right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Miller4Prez66 545 Report post Posted June 24, 2011 I don't see him making the regular season roster. But with the 53rd pick, you can't complain. Otis took a hard working guy who plays defense, so you know he'll work hard to try and make the roster and that is all you can ask of a pick this late.

DBLdrbl 11 Report post Posted June 24, 2011 His videos remind me of Pietrus SO much. Especially his ESPN clip last night, right down to holding up the 3 fingers after a made trey. I'm getting giddy. I WANT SUMMER LEAGUE. Exactly what I was thinking! SUMMER LEAGUE! I realize the talent on the court isnt always the greatest in the summer league but at least you get to see them showcase their talents in a 5 on 5 setting. I am just glad we got a solid perimeter defender, I was down to Liggins or Lighty towards the end of that draft, where I see Lighty as a better spot up shooter, I think Liggins may be the better penetrator of the two. Here's to hoping he sticks around a while. :cheers: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hungry Hedo's 29 Report post Posted June 24, 2011 I'm a die hard kentucky fan and let me tell you... we got a steal in Liggins... I'm guessing he will be our starter whenever the season actually begins after the lockout. He can gaurd the 1-3, drive the ball when needed and can spot of for 3's. He hit the game winning 3 from the corner in the elite 8 against UNC... so he has no problem stepping up when his number is called. Warning: he struggled to find his niche the first 2 seasons while at Kentucky which included being suspended for the first 10 or so games his sophomore year for unspecified reasons and rumors he was a loner during that season, but Caliapri got him to buy into the role of a glue guy this past year and he flurished from there... SVG will have to be careful on how he manages Liggins, but if he is treated right I see him as our starting 2.
