Liggins could be described: (by Eric Yearian for NBADraft.net in 2011)
Versatile, long and lean, can guard all three positions on the perimeter NBA size and athleticism at 6-6, 210 pounds 6'11 wingspan combined with solid lateral quickness makes him a potential lockdown perimeter defender on the next level A decent shooter when his feet are set, Liggins really struggles to make shots after he puts the ball on the floor Though he cut down considerably on his turnovers this year, is still a shaky decision maker.
