Shumpert is only 6'5 he is not going to be Paul George.

Paul George is 6'8", not 6'10".

This past season Shumpert took 80 shots in the restricted area and hit 35 of them for a shooting percentage of 43.75% and 39.6% overall. If he shot 60.9% at the rim he goes 49/80 at the rim and raises his overall shooting percentage to 44.72%.

Regardless, his #s were pretty bad everywhere except 3 point range. 48% at the rim is about 10 to 15 below the league average. Then he shot in the mid 20s from 3 to 9 and 10 to 15 feet and 38% from 16 to 23 feet.

But Woody thinks JR is better than Paul George.

The #s here look a little different. It has him at 48% at the rim.

Hmm, I took all my number from http://NBA.com/stats and his shot chart there looks like this:

I think the biggest difference is the areas don't exactly match up from both sites. There's also a difference in total shot attempts with NBA saying 275 and Hoopsdata saying 268.

No dissrespect to MJ but he can't even elevate the players on his own team, guy is a awful teacher, he's one of those lead by example type players.

Melo needS to go workout with JOHN STOCKTON the all time leader in assist..smh

But honestly..Melo needs improve mentally, he needs to read books like the "art of war", he needs to change his approach to the game..10 years dude and his still playing the exact same way he played in college.

We should be saying things like Melo needs to workout with shump over the summer so he can improve his offensive game..But can melo teach??
