The Answer Man Lets A Stunt Man Do The Dirty Work

A. Berman: a disaster offensively
“His lateral movement is not where I think it should be. His timing is off a bit. He’s not playing big minutes. He’s still on restrictive minutes. He’ll be fine. When it counts, he’ll be there.’’ - Mike Woodson
(Berman opines) Shumpert has been a disaster offensively, too, going scoreless in Minnesota on Friday and scoring two points vs. Clippers. Shumpert said adjusting to small forward and being left in the deep corner for 3-pointers has been tough.
“He’s not getting into the flow and it’s just not about his offense,’’ Woodson said. “We didn’t rely on Iman scoring a lot of points last year. He’s still a rookie still trying to figure out this league.”
Who remembers Bernard King working his ass off for more than a year and a half, and still needing a brace? Yes, medical procedures and treatment have improved but... Knees are fragile things when healthy and this is the NBA.
No one is slowing down for I Man Shumpert.
