Levingston was one of the biggest guards in the gym with the size of a player beyond his classification. Levingston is easily at his best when he orchestrates the offense and works to get downhill. Once he gets both feet in the paint, something good will happen. He is hard to guard because of his firm understanding of pace and his tight handle. He is another one of the bully players that uses his strong frame to get to the rim and has the patience to finish in traffic while making defenders guess his next move. He is also a lock down defender and prides himself on being a tough competitor. Levingston will surely be one of the top scorers in his division next season, and as his shot continues to develop, he will be a name known around the state.
