Yea not expecting much from shump until next year when he is able to work on his game in the offseason with a full camp under his belt. Right now he is making it back from torn acl mcl and just recently completed his rookie year. When people tell me shump wont amount to anything and doesnt belong in the league I remind them thats what they told me about Jeremy Lin

A reason why I really like Iman Shumpert is because of his work ethic/desire to get better with practice/drills/and whatever he has to do to work on his game
His injury and inability to do ANYTHING active
1- develop his game *weakness and strengths* look at any of these recent YOUNG ALL STARS, usually no one comes close to current ROY *Lilliard*, 1st year is a learning phase/adjustments/taste of NBA, year 2-3 is usually the years that you see the potential come out, just look at Durant/Westbrook/Rose/Harden or 98% of all the players
2- keep himself fit or get himself in better shape, even take steps back from his physical condition
3- loss in some confidence that was at a ALL TIME HIGH, loss out on opportunity to defend *DWADE in a PLAYOFF MATCH for better or worse, it would help his development*
4- to start off with, there was a lock out in his rookie summer, so he loss out on the opportunity to use the Knick's gym and development coaches but he STILL WORKED ON HIS GAME EVERYDAY, right after college basketball ended for him, to the combine, draft night, and after he was selected with 1st round pick *2 years guaranteed*
5- so essentially this injury stunted his growth but we can just pray the medical staff gets fired after all the injuries this year with our past decades injuries so nothing like this happens again, as we should be looking to spend the money for The Sun's medical staff
