The comments are interesting. Is DimeMag a legit source these days?

I think this is possible if he can stay on Larry's good side.

4. D.J. Augustin(notes), PG, Bobcats. Someone has to be the point guard. He took some steps backward last year, but that was because Larry Brown really wanted to make Ray Felton into a pretty good point guard. And he did. Now, with Felton gone, he can do the same with Augustin. He can shoot the 3, but he has to do better at playing within Larry's system and not trying to do too much on his own.

The likely hood of DJ having a breakout season? Not too flash hot, but he has a chance. He's now the number 1 man, time for him to nut up...or shut up.

I was actually suprised that Augustin was on there, but unfortunately there's no proof in past perfomance that will suggest this. ILBIT I suppose, and I hope Augustin will break out and LB doesn't bench him after the first 20 minutes where he struggles.

He's got a whole rookie year to go on ffs....

He does have strong a/t ratio when a starter and scores, but he only has 14 starts. I think he's a strong contributor but doesn't have the background to suggest he will definitely breakout, especially considering last years regression.

Hope for the best though!!!

He was brilliant in college. And showed a lot of promising things during the rookie season. Even if he regressed, that's still development minutes he got to be on that court and playing. Now he's learnt to play, even while struggling and to get through it. I think even though he's struggled, it'll help him in the long term as he knows what it's like to struggle and HOW hard he has to work to get over the road bump.

I think our breakout player will probably be Gerald Henderson. I don't think Jackson plays as many minutes this season and DJ plays very few at the 2. Henderson gets a bit more time and seems to have gotten better during summer league.

I'm not saying the guy becomes a starter or a top 5 player on the team, but I think he starts to make meaningful contributions this year.

DJ obviously has the best situation to be a breakout player, but I'm wondering if there may be more to Livingston's game than we think.
