He's a TDA (Three's, Defense, Athleticism) guy with an undetermined ceiling. They tend to get a lot of love. NY is a big market hence big love.*

Shumpert is a toolsy guy. He's got athleticism. He's got a decent game.
But he's soft and he lacks that killer instinct to go hard and dominate his opponents.

True, maybe he isn't allowed to even try with Carmelo on the team, but I just don't see Shumpert as ever being much more than a 6th man.

Dude strikes me as a prototypical NY dude. Loud mouth, fake tough guy with an aspiring rap career, maybe thats why they like him :manny:

Dudes Defense and energy is legit though.

I came here to shyt on Shump (:skip:), but I'll keep it 100 brehs. his defense on TyGawd (particularity in the second half) was one of best defensive jobs I've seen on Lawson all season.

he'll never reach his full potential on Knicks, but on a team that isn't a circus and actually promotes player development, he can be real good.
