The difference in on court communication is better. He is around the ball and makes good things happen.

Shumpert. Fields. Anthony. Stoudemire. Chandler.

Hit the open man.

Bear in mind, he is still coming off a knee injury and probably holding back the entire bag of tricks for fear of doing damage.

Once he learns where his frontcourt podnuhs want the ball...

Be still my heart.

You gotta love it to make the shot. Shooting is over rated.

Did you notice Shumpert directing traffic off the dribble like a seasoned veteran?

The man knows how to assert himself and that can only be a good thing.

It's called leadership.

The next idiot, on national television, that reflexively boos a Knicks draft selection for the cameras, gets no love.

martin - you get the feeling this line will be a long one?

I called it from the start....Reminds me of a young D-Wade. It wasn't just his talent and skills that did it for me. It was his confidence that tipped the scale. You need that kind of swag in the NBA. And to have it as a rookie is nice.

This is a good system for him to shine on both ends. And playing 37 mins, he will get lots of PT under , because he's just trying to save his own job. He will play the best players 30+ minutes a night.......Injuries will be out biggest enemy.

I also love his shot selection. He's just a streaky shooter! I have no problem with that, because he brings other in-tangles to the game. His court vision with those down low passes and setting up Bibby for those 3's was very nice.....Remember, he did play PG at Georgia Tech.

That ain't fair. MDA has played rookies. See Fields. See Jorts. See Gallo. See Mozgov.
