UK wrath? United Kingdom? Que?

Say what you want, but here are his stats for this season. He is our best overall player thus far.

If someone says he should not shoot the ball, they are all wet.

How is it possible for Shump to improve his offensive stats when the Tri is a haox?

Still dont know if he is trust worthy for long term contact. I guess depends on the price and if he sustains it for a full season.

If it is then Bonn needs to quit his day job


No joke. His rookie contract ends this year. You don't overpay a guy with a bad history just because he's good in a contract year. Of course, he could be a new player but it's a bad gamble IMO.

I'm blaming woodson for his terrible play last yr, and blaming Fisher for his excellent play this yr, so unless the knicks are planning on hiring woodson next season, I see nothing holding this kid back. he is thriving in this system and is about the only knick not hesitating or playing passive. he's still gambling on defense but nearly as much as his first 3 yrs in the league.

He'll get a contract similar to lance..

The Knicks are highly likely to retain Shumpert if he can sustain this type of play. Its important if you can to keep what is in place. Shumperts play is going well--one less need. Money is money--have to pay some guys.

Another great game in the books.
Don't worry Briggs he will finally get praise from the UK faithful when he's playing like this for another team

Which would be a sham since he is the our best drafted 2way player since Ewing. 30yrs ago

you should just make that your signature. And Shump isnt even as good as Wil Chandler who we drafted. Or Gallo. Or David Lee. Or Nate Robinson. But yes... Shump's had a good start and is making his usual impact

FG 51%
3pt 57%

What will those #s be at the end of the year? I mean the Knicks are 2-7 and Shumpert has hit some shots and your streaking through the quad saying Iman is the best two way player since Ewing. Seriously its retarded.

Shump has been Scotty Pippin all along, he's just been poorly coached.

I mean the less he handles the ball the better. He's not a PG. He's best when there is as little thinking involved as possible.

I think that if does not get his touches he may revert to angry clanky shump

I think Calderon's return will hurt his game massively

well is he Shump or Scotty Pippin? Last I checked he was a 6ppg and 40% ish career player. I mean I know Linsanity got Jeremy a big contract and was exciting but at least the Knicks WON those games.
