NBA Comparison: Richard Dumas

Strengths: Livio is a very long (7’2 wingspan) and fluid athlete who plays with high intensity and energy … Excels in the role of garbage man, slashing to the basket and scoring on put backs … Very agile player showing excellent speed in the open floor … A strong defender doing an excellent job of crowding opponents using his great length, reflexes and quick feet … A scorer more than a shooter, but shows the ability to knock down mid-range jumpers with solid form … Crafty around the basket and shows the ability to face up and get by his man and to the rim … Good attitude. Hard working kid who shows the desire to improve … Fits the role well of an energy role player, providing a spark with effort, defense and some scoring, without needing plays called for him …

Weaknesses: A tweener for the NBA. Has the size/length to play the PF position, but is more of a finesse guy who plays well in space instead of banging in the paint … Lacks upper body strength to be able to withstand contact against NBA bigs … Should improve upon post game .. Narrow shoulders, thin bone structure, and therefore doesn’t appear to be the type that can add much upper body muscle mass. Will likely peak at 225-230 lbs … Needs to add more range and consistency to his shot … Not an incredibly explosive athlete, but solid and is very fluid and quick …

Notes: Led all players in scoring (27) and rebounding (13) at the 2013 Nike Hoop Summit …
