Weaknesses: Liu sometimes makes risky decisions with the ball, trying to thread the needle with showtime passes. He needs to be a little bit quicker at assessing situations instead of just pulling the trigger on passes with a high degree of difficulty. He is a good dribbler, but can improve in this area. While he has good foot speed, he is just an average athlete. This raises questions about his NBA potential, especially on defense, although his height does help him in this area.
