Livingston as a sophomore may have been a better fit with this team. Edwards doesn't have to be great or even good though. He is a 10 to 15 min tops guy here on out.
What else do they have in common? It was clear in the Blue/White game each year that Thiero was better than both of them.

I really think Edwards can get where he wants to be but it will take another year here to do that. There is a near 0 chance that will happen.
I most def thought Edwards would be more. Shows my crystal ball can get cloudy. I also thought Boston and Clarke would be all that too. Note to Cal, only go for a 6'7" burger boys if they are knock down outside shooters.
Thats just a little over Bronny Jame's stat line, and everyone knows he could make the Lakers team right now...
According to his Dad.
Maybe Boogie can get him on with that Taiwan beer chuggers team
Livingston gets minutes in the NBA. To him, on a multi-million dollar contract, it was probably a great move.
Livingston:
34 games - 760 minutes - 22.35 minutes/game
points 215 = 6.32 / game
rebounds 142 = 4.18 / game
FG – 42.9% 3FG - 30.5%
As of today, Livingston has played in 12 games (out of 42) for the Bucks, and averaged 4.8 minutes/game and 1.3 ppg and 1.0 rpg.
Can't imagine he's in the League after his rookie contract.
But ... no doubt about it ... leaving and getting what money he could get, right then, was the right move. Reasonable to expect him to play for decent money in Europe for 3-5 years. Certainly more than he could make at a "real job."
Livingston was better. Better handle, much better athlete, and much more physical. He's actually exactly what this team needs.
I did not. From the get go he's had no motor. You can't teach that. He doesn't have it on the court, the weight room. The scouting reports said that he lacked a motor.
Cal is just gonna have to do a better job of evaluating these dudes, and stop going by recruiting services. We get one of these dudes every year.
I think Cal is always playing the long game in recruiting. Get two Edwards from a certain “group” then maybe land a Davis. JMHO
I know that there are busts, but I swear it seems like we get an absolute 5 star bust every season, and Cal spends 75% of the season trying to fix them rather than moving on.
That's definitely possible. It might just be that he's "thinking" too much. The ol walk and chew bubblegum.
I don't think he has any higher percentage of busts than other coaches but he absolutely gives some of them too long a leash and sticks with them too long. It's just hard to argue otherwise.
I 100% don't remember Chris Livingston playing here. I know I'm getting older, but seriously....no recollection of it at all.
Couldn't pick him out of a lineup with 2 photos.

Fair point…but even in just 5 minutes a game…isn’t that more of an indictment of nba watered down game. He wasn’t a solid college player…his best games were him being non guarded ans allowed to rebound on smaller dudes
I hope Edwards breaks out, I really do, but if he doesn’t show something by the end of the regular season, the dude needs to sit in March.
Chris Livingston. He was here just last year and I had to think for a minute to remember who that is. These mediocre one and dones are so forgettable. He could’ve been a damn good player if he stuck around.
