You people are so damn critical of STAT.
Lets make a list of the top 5 power fowards in the NBA:
Blake Griffen
Dirk
Kevin Love
Lamarcus Aldrige
Pau Gasol
Now you dont have to agree with my top 5, but for the most part these guys are the top 10 right? Now lets look at whos feeding them the ball
Blake Griffen-> Chris Paul
Dirk Nowitzki-> Jason Kidd
Kevin Love ->Rubio, JJ, Ridnour
Lamarcus Aldrige-> Felton, Andre Miller
Pau Gasol -> Derek Fisher
Now if you put Shumpert or Douglas on any of these teams they would NOT start. You take any of the point guards above and put them on the knicks they WOULD start. Pretty much all elite power forwards need an above average point guard to facilatate and feed them the ball. Shumpert and Douglas just can't do it. Remember the offense when we had Felton? It had rythm it had flow and the pick and roll with Amare was good.
