Very good article that discusses all of this draft's guards using different stats.

Good
Iman is the best guard for steals and rebounds in this draft. He's got a very low turnover rate.

Bad
He had a low true shooting percentage and didn't make a lot of assists. The latter point could be a result of the quality of his team.

Average
How often he gets to the line, his PPG, 3pt usage % are all average.

The numbers aren't surprising. They definitely solidify what we all thought: we're getting a great defender. I'm happy he doesn't turn the ball over much. Shumpert will be a great pick in my book if he can distribute the ball and make the open shot. I'm already confident about his defensive prowess.

And BTW, if Carmelo's tweet implied that he wanted Josh Selby, it seems kind of silly because Selby ranked among the worst in every single stats category.

Iman had really bad shot selection. But the kid can shoot. His 80%FT alludes to that. Great for him to have that as he is a physical player.

I didn't realize he was such a great rebounder though (makes sense as he is very very strong and a great leaper.) He will fit in nicely.
