Interesting comp. Might end up being the right one.

Shumps issues was erratic outside shot and eventual injuries.

Shump had some talent and got a ring with the Cavs right? And not sitting on the bench. Only finals team to come back down 3 - 1. Bad knee for one. Don’t know if the rap thing contributed. Just turned 34 - younger than Taj by some just sayin’……

True. Also had trouble finishing strong at the rim in his early years.Not clones, but I think the Shumpert comp. is a good one. They're both solid defenders but rough around the edges offensively.

And McCullers is not a good 3-point shooter just like shump

Shump played pretty excellent D - would he have been a “Thibs Guy?”

maybe I am missing something but I am not that excited about this guy. Hopefully he can prove me wrong during summer league.

Now that Hukporti has signed his 2-way, I wonder if the holdup with McCullar is possibly him being considered for the primary roster. He obviously dropped in the draft due to injury/ age but was still considered a late first to earlier second round pick that would put him into guaranteed roster spot territory. We will see what happens there.
