Dunno why Shump's so trigger happy today. His season high in FG attempts is 15, which he's about to pass.

i was on another message board and they posted Shumpert's scouting report...i was silently nodding


Weaknesses: Lacks stability/discipline on the court ... Inconsistent … Not efficient at all ... Horrid shot-selection ... Liable to shoot at any time, even when being closely guarded ... Likes to shoot off the dribble on a good deal of his isolation possessions, despite only connecting on 20% of these attempts ... Shoots nearly 5 three pointers per game, despite only shooting 27.8% from behind the arc ... Will often go for the flashy play instead of the easy play, which can lead to unforced turnovers ... Very poor jump shooter, and hasn't shown any improvement in this area during his three-year career with Georgia Tech ... Needs the ball in his hands a lot to be effective on offense and he certainly won't have as many isolation opportunities at the next level ... Should look to take advantage of his size and strength more in the post, but has yet to add this dimension to his game ... Attitude has been questioned in the past, but to his credit he appears to have matured over the past year ...

Where does one find scouting reports?

Looks like a Draft Express scouting report.

He worked a lot on his jumper in the offseason. Still could use a little more work but he hasn't been shooting this poorly all year. He's got good form though. He's just a very confident player and D'Antoni probably gave him the green light.

He'll stick around if not for his J but for his defense and athleticism.

Does anyone else think that Shumpert has a legit shot at Rookie of the Year? I think he should be in the conversation if he keeps up the way he is playing.

No. Kyrie, Rubio and Swag Mamba(homer pick) are the top three IMO right now. Kyrie has the best chance because neither Rubio nor Brooks start.

Plus I'm pretty sure once Baron comes back his minutes will begin to drop.

No not necessarily they were talking of moving him to the 2.

So their lineup would be:
Tyson
Stat
Melo
Shump
Baron

Just saw that someone in the NBA has the nickname "Swag Mamba"

What the ****

[LionsFanNJ]

So Shump would start over Fields? Interesting.

Re: Game Discussion Thread 1/9/12 - 1/15/12

Chandler gets a board - has both Fields and Shump open - Chandler gives it to Fields to start the break.

That's very telling, IMHO.

If this keeps up Shumpert should join the Kings or Wizards, he'd fit right in.
