I like the way Jorts is bodying people on defense. Use them fouls young fella!

In other news, Jeffries still can hit the side of the barn..

yeah, this is what have been saying. shump is spree-lite, i think. spree ran the point a little in GSW, but didn't really have the handle to run it full time.

Shump looks stronger. His ceiling may be higher too. Too early to tell, of course, just my view.

ramtour420 @ 12/17/2011 2:38 PM
Was that a spin move/crossover by JJ in the paint?
crzymdups @ 12/17/2011 2:38 PM
jeffries didn't use the lockout to work on... any basketball skills. sigh.

Iman !!!!!!!!!
skeng @ 12/17/2011 2:39 PM
oh shump
Knicksfan @ 12/17/2011 2:39 PM
Iman for the starting 5, though his value may be higher as offense from the bench.

Do I smell a shooting guard that can actually shoot?

i love shumpert, but sprewell was a multiple all-star and made first team all nba one year. even comparing him to spree is a stretch at this point. i don't want to project his career or put any undo expectations on him.

but the frame, the explosiveness, the attitude, the strength, all kind of remind me of spree.

(and it's why i don't get anyone who calls him a PG.)

martin @ 12/17/2011 2:41 PM
i dont think this is a hard call: Shump will be a better PG than TD by mid-shortened-season.... but will probably play with Bibby in second unit to guard the tougher backcourt opponent.
FoeDiddy @ 12/17/2011 2:42 PM
More impressed with Shump's Defense..He Cares.

Jeffries is still a scrub

Melo looks out of shape but his skill is outerworldly

Stat looks like a beast..hope the weight lifting doesn't make him slower

Bibby Looks serviceable

SPree had handle problems and could really only go on way, I see Shump as better in that area. He stays low to the ground, nicely. Head up too, always looking.

Bibby/ Shumpert (Derek Rose, eat your heart out)
Fields/ Douglas
Carmelo/ Jeffries
Amar'e/ Harrelson (nice range homey)
Big Fella/ tbd
