Marko Jaric is not only injured, but not a PG. He should be playing SG along side Livingston when/if he eventually returns to form. Add to the passing and scoring nearly an assist and a block per game, and you've got a damn fine point guard. He's third in the league in blocks for players who can man the PG position. The two ahead of him include such notables as Dwyane Wade and Lebron James.

Also, he's from Illinois.

If you don't take him this year, at least make sure to appropriately hype him up (quietly, to yourself) before you draft your team next year.

Also, he's got a fro. A huge fro.

Count it.|||110838526720583656|||Get him before he's hot: Shaun Livingston
