Shump will be the starting two within in a month. He's Spree.V2.

He isn't a point guard. seriously. he's not.

why you say?

Are you watching? He's a prototypical NBA SG. He's 6'6" with long rangy arms and shoots the ball every time he touches it.

Iman
HARDCOREKNICKSFAN @ 12/17/2011 2:54 PM
Balkman with the score!
ramtour420 @ 12/17/2011 2:54 PM
Iman not a PG?

d'antoni might have an issue with his shot selection.

if nothing else, he's that scoring punch off the bench.

And when he does its to Balky for a layup...hmm. Not sure what to make of that.

Iman just looks comfortable handling ball... much more so than TD EVER has

i get that he is a prototypical sg, but let's not discount the possibility of a huge PG who can lockdown.

Imagine this:

Davis - Bibby
Shumpert - Douglass - Walker
Melo - Fields - Green
Amar'e - Outlaw
Chandler - Jorts - Jeffries - Jordan

Could happen soon. Would make us a really solid team all around. Fields and TD bring both offense and defense to the bench. Wish it happens.

Nets got both of our Williamses from last year

Shump's dish to Balk looked good, hopefully he can develop that more and stop shooting so much.
ramtour420 @ 12/17/2011 2:58 PM
Nice move Balkman
HARDCOREKNICKSFAN @ 12/17/2011 2:58 PM
Balkman, the offensive juggernaut.

Yeah he does. It's just a matter of learning the pace of the league. He still tries to force things too much. Bibby was always good at allowing plays to develop back in his day. Maybe he can drill this into Iman.

Especially with a guy like TD in the starting lineup, an option out there.

I actually like this. Fields can solve the Melo backup problem, Barron/Bibby can definitle handle the PG with short time spells from Iman/TD, I would let Jorts backup Amar'e and Outlaw as well
