Chris Livingston was amazing during the 2022-2023 season playing for the Kentucky Wildcats, where he was named to the SEC All-Freshman Team. But now his career will take another path since he recently signed a contract with the Milwaukee Bucks.
During his only season playing college ball, Chris Livingston started 26 games, shot 42.9% from the field, 30.5% from three-point range, and 72.2% from the free throw line. He averaged 6.3 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 0.7 assists per game. He was rated a 5-star recruit by several news sites, including Rivals, 247Sports, and ESPN.
The Milwaukee Bucks expect Livingston to develop his talents in the 2023-2024 season and play small forward and power forward. They need to fill some offensive holes that were evident last season.
