Superb Thread
Shumert won the Laker game as the he hit two crucial buckets when they Lakers closed to within 3. He turned last night sure lose to win with that incredible steal aganst the Raptors.
Everyone is tradable but to me IMAX to me a Havelchek type and is a keeper. If he ever gets his game under control {eliminates stupid fouls, force the issue on some plays} the SKY IS THE LIMIT. He must play his natural positions of SG and SF. He is not a PG. Thanks again for a great thread.
IMHO IMAX has the most natural talent in all the combined areas, offense, defense, rebounding, and FINDING A WAY TO WIN..because say what you will Stat and Melo don't play defense ...Stat can't and Melo won't...defensive energy shuts down their offensive numbers but we should look at Amare in the last 3 min of a close game and wonder where was his defense all game....Chandler is great on defense but is 12 points/game period. He brings other stuff like LEADERSHIP.. saying last night after they took his legs out.."I DO NOT WANT TO LOOSE THIS GAME".IMAN SHUMPERT
The Sky Is The Limit

W: 220 lbs

Stole the show at the combine, looking like clearly the most physically gifted player in this entire draft class. To start things off, his 36.5' standing vertical leap was the highest since nick young posted the top mark in our entire historical database (39.5') back in 2007.
As we've stated in past reports, the intrigue around Shumpert as a potential NBA player revolves around his exceptional physical profile for a player seeing time at the point guard position. Standing 6'4 with an extremely rangy frame, Shumpert is fluid, agile, deceptively quick, and an explosive two-foot leaper.
The same can't be said for his play on the defensive end, where he has absolutely flourished this season. Combining excellent length and lateral quickness with good intensity, Shumpert is simply exceptional one-on-one, rebounds the ball at an outrageous rate for a guard, and leads all data bases in steals by a pretty considerable margin. Extremely active with his hands and feet, Shumpert does a great job maintaining his balance and denying penetration and has the physical tools to defend multiple positions in the NBA.

Marquette a few years back

His measurables are jaw dropping and it will leave a lot of scouts and coaches drooling all over the floor. He plays a smooth game at the point guard position at 6'5.5" and 222 lbs. Not only is he blessed with size and strength, but his athleticism is off the charts as well. He had the highest Max Vert Reach ever for a PG and showed great speed and agility at the combine. His highlight reels show some amazing dunks and acrobatic finishes as well.
That's just what he was blessed with, but basketball wise, he has some serious game as well. He has a great first step and almost gets to the rim at will against college competition. Of course, once you get in the paint you have to finish and he does, with explosiveness. He has a developing shot and showed strides of great improvement in certain games (Vs. UNC). In the combine many scouts were impressed on how much smoother and fluid his shot looks, and he was draining them more than a lot of people as well. Iman also shows great court vision, especially in the open floor which is were he shines. Lastly, he is almost a guarantee to be an elite defender. He can easily guard 1-3 and play them effectively and shows quick hands to steal the ball and passes. Also, with his size he will be an above average rebounder at the next level for sure.
He still needs to work on his PG skills and his shot, but he is showing a lot of improvement in both areas.
