Brooks, Shumpert Battle for "Steal"

Over the summer, Adidas had several of its rookies out to Oregon for a welcoming event, which featured skills competitions, some community events and a photo shoot. Marshon Brooks and Iman Shumpert jokingly had one taken of the two of them squared off in boxing poses, fists raised. It may have been prophetic.
The two, along with Norris Cole of the Heat, are competing for the title of "Steal of the Draft". In Drew Packham's latest Rookie Ladder, Shumpert, taken at #17, is ranks third while Brooks, taken at #25, ranks fifth, down despite his double double vs. the Hawks.
Shumpert ranks third in scoring (13.2), fourth in assists (3.6), first in steals (2.2) and first in free throw percentage (90.9%). Brooks ranks second in scoring (14.4), second in field goal percentage (46.2%), fourth in three point shooting (40.7%), and third in free throw shooting (79.3%).

I have a good racist joke to insert here, but I'll refrain from doing so.
Let’s just say that it’s a Harlem thing.
МаrShon the best Rookie. Cole and Shumpert is worse than him.

There seems to be a lot of Homers in here
Marshon is the second scoring option on a team with no elite scorers, and that depends on your definition of scorers, who has problems getting to 90 points except in blowout, Shumpeet is the 3rd or 4th scorer in a team with 2 elite scorers.Also Shumpert had been injured and is a little behind.
Once you take into that and the superior defense of Shumpert and the fact that he has to earn his minutes, while Marshon really have no competition for minute, Marshon might end the year with better stats, but there is no way he is remotely a better player. If he was not playing for the Nets, he probably would not have broken the rotation yet
That's cool they moved Marshon down and Shump to 3 because...

Well can you really trust somebody who writes a sentence like this:
Irving stood out as he showed off an array of moves and finished with 20 points two nights after scoring 21 in Portland two nights earlier.
Side note, how depressing is it to see Ryan Anderson at #6 on that list?

Shumpert is solid roookie
it aint fair enought to say he’s stats dont match Swags. He does a lot at both ends of the floor way better than James and Stevenson
by Aidar Berlinbayev on Jan 11, 2012 11:48 AM EST up reply actions
And I'll just say
This is why players love playing in big markets. Shumpert suddenly gets “ROY” possibilities despite a performance that Brooks clearly dominates by stats and PER.
Oh and Kobe’s ally-oop dunk gets #1 play of the day yesterday, despite it being not all that sensational at all.

Just curious but how much have you watched Shumpert play?
He is the most consistently good player on the Knicks right now, and he impacts the game on defense as well as offense.
I have watched him, he's been a good rookie so far
I like his defense and his intensity. He certainly fires up the crowd.
He hasn’t outperformed MarShon (yet) though.

"Your 2010-2011 New Jersey Nets - It Is What It Is"
I think its close
Brooks looks like the best offensive game of any player in the draft. But Shumpert is starting at PG, and his defense is critical to the Knicks success. It seems like every time he goes to the bench, the other team goes on a run. I think both players have had equally impressive seasons. Hope they develop a great rivalry with each other. That will be really fun to watch.
That's all true
But the Knicks really do have a bunch of garbage around the Big 3 so they need Shumpert. It’s pretty much the same with Brooks: the team suffers to score (and defend) without Brooks on the floor.
by BrooklynNets on Jan 11, 2012 11:04 AM EST up reply actions
Yeah, I don't think you could go wrong with either player
Both are showing all-star potential, and are ROY candidates. Any Nets fan will tell you Brooks is better, and any Knicks fan will say Shumpert is better. I think the truth is that they are both equally important to their teams success, and its too early to say which player will have the better career.
I don't think either is a legit ROY candidate
Not with the way Rubio is playing.

Yeah, if Rubio stays healthy he deserves to win it
Still, both players should finish in the top 5.

Well put
although statistically Brooks is clearly the more effective player. However, we are talking about miniscule sample sizes. It will be an exciting race, but in the end I think it will come down to Brooks, Irving, and Rubio.
by BrooklynNets on Jan 11, 2012 11:40 AM EST up reply actions
Clearly more effective now
I do think Shumpert is more of a stat filler across the board than Brooks.
Section 18, Row 7 at The Rock!
"Your 2010-2011 New Jersey Nets - It Is What It Is"
I think Shumpert will definitely be up there with Brooks
Brooks is putting up slightly better numbers. But Shumperts contribution goes beyond that. He is also in charge of running the offense, and getting both Melo and STAT involved, which is something that other guards have had trouble doing. He plays great defense, and is averaging 2.2 steals per game. He is also being asked to play huge minutes coming off an injury, early in his NBA career. He is a critical part of this team success. Without him, the defense falls apart, and we have nobody to run the offense.
Brooks is putting up slightly better numbers.
Brooks is putting up vastly superior numbers through four more games.
He is also in charge of running the offense, and getting both Melo and STAT involved, which is something that other guards have had trouble doing.
MarShon practically is the Nets offense and has arguably more responsibility. He has also started to pass more to teammates rather than over penetrating and his assist numbers should go up. MarShon also is one of two people on this team that can consistently get to the line, which is the only thing that can keep us in games.
He plays great defense, and is averaging 2.2 steals per game.
Shumpert is a good defender but so is Brooks. I think both players will have significant contributions on the defensive end.
He is also being asked to play huge minutes coming off an injury, early in his NBA career.
Exact same for MarShon.
They may have similar impacts for their teams, but until Shumpert can prove that he is statistically on par with Brooks, it’s just hype to put him on the same level.
Of course this will all change in a week! But for now, Swag is being disrespected.
by BrooklynNets on Jan 11, 2012 12:00 PM EST up reply actions
I disagree
Of course a player who is asked to defer to Melo and STAT is going to have slightly lower offensive numbers. Also, you can’t compare both players defensively. Shumpert was the best defensive player in the entire draft. Anyway, I wouldn’t have a problem with Brooks being raked higher, because he has put up great numbers all year, and is being asked to carry the Nets offensively. But Shumpert is just as good as advertised. He is not being overrated at all.
I never said Shumpert was overrated
I said I think he was a fantastic pick and just what the Knicks needed. But Landry Fields got a ton of hype for somebody who is actually a pretty terrible player. Shumpert will be much better than Fields but I doubt he is on the same tier as Brooks by season’s end.
I don’t say this to be confrontational, I just think that Shump will be more of a versatile impact player long term whereas Brooks has the chance to be a mid level star.
by BrooklynNets on Jan 11, 2012 12:14 PM EST up reply actions
I brought up Fields just to highlight the hype machine at the Gawden
and by the way, the Knicks rank #24 in Hollinger’s rankings. They’re not very good, even with Shump.
by BrooklynNets on Jan 11, 2012 12:15 PM EST up reply actions
I wasn't saying you thought he was overrated
But I feel like some of the criticism on this blog is a bit unfair. Obviously its a Nets blog so I can’t really get too upset about that lol. I think its too early to tell where either players ceiling is. I think they will both be major assets to their teams for a long time though. Also, I have no problem with you saying Fields was overhyped. He was definitely a product of D’Antoni’s offense. Also, Hollinger hates the Knicks for whatever reason. They are ranked 14th offensively and defensively, so I’m not sure how they end up 24th overall lol.
Because the Knicks have played by far the leagues easiest schedule
I know they are not terrible like the Nets, but c’mon, the Knicks haven’t done anything yet. And Hollinger’s formula is preset so it’s not biased. Does it reflect reality? No, but it does tend to put things into perspective.
And as for Fields, he had a decent rookie season if you don’t account for the D’antoni bump, and has been terrible this year. He has a PER of 9.74. TO COMPARE, JOHAN PETRO HAS A PER OF 9.93.
And 15+% of the season has already been played.
Enough said.

by BrooklynNets on Jan 11, 2012 12:33 PM EST up reply actions
Fields has been horrible
Not even trying to argue with you there. Last year the Knicks ran a very different offense, which led to a lot of easy scoring for Fields, and his rebounding numbers were inflated because we didn’t have a C. Also, I don’t see how the Knicks are ranked 24th with a top 15 defense and offense. How does that make sense?
It has a lot to do with strength of schedule last 10 games
Saying you don’t trust Hollinger’s numbers is like denying evolution. You can protest things are different, but it’s actually how things work. It’s smart to take Hollinger’s opinions with a grain of salt, but his stats are very informative.
Knicks have a very low scoring margin during the leagues easiest schedule.

We also lost Amar'e and Shumpert for awhile
Melo was basically our only scoring threat for about awhile. Even when STAT was healthy, he was playing well for the first few games. It also took some time for Chandler to adjust. I know you guys don’t want to hear about injuries though lol.

Brooks was one of my favorite players in the draft. Glad he is having a lot of success.
Melo went off on Singleton
Shumpert kept John Wall out of the paint
Not really.

Losing the Knicks would suck.
It wont last
Shumpert will be an excellent role player for the Knicks. You have to tip your hat to them, they have done excellent jobs drafting. If MarShon keeps up the play then he will get his due respect. Plus, I expect him to drop 30 in a game soon, that should get everyone’s attention.
by BrooklynNets on Jan 11, 2012 10:47 AM EST up reply actions
any idea what the high scoring game has been for rookies thus far? Would assume would have been either Marshon, Irving or Cole…….
Didn't Cole score 22?
I think it’s in the low 20’s. With this schedule you can be sure that no rookie is scoring 50 points in a game like Jennings. Brooks is improving fast. If he can string together some 20 point games (and get some assists of his improved passing) he will start getting a lot of love from the media.
by BrooklynNets on Jan 11, 2012 11:02 AM EST up reply actions
Kyrie is up to 15.6 ppg….having scored 20 last night. His high game was 21 points on the 8th against Portland with 3 other 20 point efforts. Kyrie has played in 9 games at this point and has never played less than 20 minutes a night (averaging nearly 27 minutes per game).
Norris Cole is averaging 10.4 ppg with a high game of 20 points against the Celts….That is his only 20 point effort.
Marshon is averaging 14.4 ppg with a high game of 21 points (done 2x) – which are his only 20 point games. He has 3 games of 17 points and 1 game of 19 points. Like Irving, Marshon has played in 9 games – but in 2 of those 9 games he played for just 8 and 12 minutes respectively – and is averaging 25.3 minutes per night.
Granted Rubio is not a scorer – but he is averaging 10.2 ppg with a high game of 14 points.
Markieff Morris is averaing 8.8 ppg with a high point effort of 16 points.
And for all the Shumpert love – he is averaging 13.2 ppg with a high point game of 18 (has only played in 5 games and has never played less than 22 minutes).
So from a scoring perspective the 2 guys in the conversation are going to be Kyrie Irving and Marshon Brooks….and I think that will be the race all season (strictly from a ppg perspective).
I think if Brooks didn’t get such little run in the Cleveland game and didn’t have the ankle injury that he would be matched with Irving in ppg, if not scoring at a higher average.
Maybe but either way, Brooks is ranked among the NBA's best in PER
It’s early in the season, so things will likely even out, but Shumper is down in the 100’s, Irving is in the 50’s and Brooks is in the 20’s.

And MarShon has better defensive numbers
despite all of Shumpert’s steals. Brooks is also a better offensive rebounder (although that might have to do with Amare and Tyson playing for the Knicks).
by BrooklynNets on Jan 11, 2012 11:36 AM EST up reply actions
MarShon is also matching up against other teams' best wings
and playing admirable man to man defense without fouling. At some point this season the Nets will get healthy and make a mini run and MarShon will be at the center. Then he will get the pub he deserves.

Shumpert is going to have the advantage in Dantoni's system...
That scoring in 7 seconds offense allows for a lot of shots to be take. Everybody that plays for Dantoni get’s inflated numbers…
Shumpert definitely has an easier time scoring playing off Melo and STAT
His defense, energy, and ability to play PG has been where he provides the most value to the Knicks though. His ability to score has really just been a huge bonus for us this year.
no doubt Shumpert is good player
But like i said before he;s not PG (cant control tempo and pass) and he’s not SG(short- SG even swag will ahve free day shooting on him)

I don't agree that he isn't a PG
There is a reason the Knicks made him their starting PG. These are just a couple of the passes he made in the last few games. He is able to make passes like these fairy regularly. There are times when Melo takes the ball from him, but thats more because Melo likes to try and play point-forward.
Those are pretty pedestrian plays
both against the worst team in the league that plays no defense.

There are better plays, but not very many on youtube
Again, he won’t be the next Nash, CP3, Rondo, or D-Will. But I do think that he can be a true PG. He does do a good job setting up teammates, and there is still a lot of room for improvement. He won’t be a Rubio type guard that was born with amazing court vision. But I do think he can get the job done, and make plays in a structured offense.
Like i said i watched Celtic Laker and Bobcats game's
In all of those game’s he was playing SG, dude aint ready to play PG…period. he cant set up plays he cant control tempo end thats wht you need from PG!!!

Also keep in mind that
with Lopez injured and our lack of scoring Lil’ Mamba is putting up his numbers despite double teams and being the focus of our opponents’ defensive effort. He’s gonna drop 50 on somebody though when the Nets develop some sense of chemistry.
Rubio is the best rookie out there, and he is making his team better which is huge.
Shump is a very good player, reminds me of a young Baron Davis. Not sure if he is a product of their system or not but he is aggressive, good ball handling, and can finish at the rim.
Rubio looks like he could be the next Steve Nash
His vision and passing is incredible

More good news from Ric Bucher about Howard. He may be more optimistic than the average Nets fan.
This morning Bucher replied to my tweet about a possible Howard trade about sending Cousins + G. Wallace + Morrow + Okur to ORL for DH + Turk. (Lopez would go to SAC).
Nets, Mavs, Lakers. Talking about anybody else getting DH is pointless.

Last night I posted 4 Email tweets from Bucher in which he said that Bynum by himself was too risky and that ORL would want multiple pieces. He also said that NJ offer is attractive and that Dallas wouldn’t have more than $17 million by summer (and Broussard stated that Dallas has nothing to trade for DH).
Bucher knows very little Jerry.
Everything he reports is based on his opinion and other people’s reports.

Disagree
He is the only person at ESPN with a big voice, who also is skillful with CBA/Salary.
He isn’t “buddies” with the superstars like Brouttard, but he always factors in what is practical from a GM point of view.
In fact it was Bucher who first stated that list was Lakers, Dallas, Nets. No one had mentioned Dallas before Bucher!!
Coincidence?
And it was Bucher who said that Howard SHOULD put Nets #1, even though they weren’t at the time.
Perhaps Bucher deserves more credit than ANYONE for getting DH to make Nets #1 choice? Howard DOES watch Sports Center!
Bucher continuously reports 'opinion'.

Do you like Broutard better?
Broutard tries to take credit for every story at the last moment.
Bucher was the only major one, pushing for LeBron to stay in Cleveland, which wasn’t a popular opinion for an ESPN analyst at the time.
The guy has principle.
Broutard was in favor of Howard going to Lakers – Almost a certainty.
Now Broutard is trying to get on board the Nets bandwagon, that Bucher started.
At that time Dwight might have been "captured" by Hollywood.
But even when Bucher was saying that, he was advocating for Howard to put Nets as #1 destination.
Maybe Howard finally listened to Bucher about the advantages of being the franchise player in Brooklyn, vs. just another LA superstar, with pressure to win a championship.
Bucher no longer says LA is his first choice.
Can't wait for the rookie/sophmore game
Lil Mamba should clearly start at SG. But who starts at PG? Kyrie? Rubio? or Shumpert? LOL!!!

He has shown the most consistency (other than top 2), should be #3 behind Irving and Rubio

Cool Rookie Scoring Stats
The highest scoring average for a season by a rookie was 37.6 ppg by Wilt Chamberlain…..since 1980 the highest scoring average by a rookie was MJ with 28.2 ppg. David Robinson averaged 24.3 ppg his rookie season, Iverson 23.5 ppg and Shaq 23.4 ppg.
Stripping away the silly Wilt the Stilt stats, and taking out the big men (Robinson and Shaq) the top of the food chain for rookie scoring guards is MJ (28.2 ppg) and Iverson (23.5ppg).
As a rookie, MJ averaged 38.3 minutes per game and his highest scoring output in a game was 49 points.
As a rookie, Iverson averaged 40.1 minutes per game and his highest scoring output in a game was 50. He had 47 games scoring 20 points or more (out of 76 games total).
And for all you Marshon-Kobe comparison fanatics – Kobe averaged 7.6 points in 15.5 minutes his rookie season, 15.4 points in 26 minutes his sophmore season and 19.9 points in 37.9 minutes in his third season. And these stats were with Shaq commanding the paint and drawing the presence of the defense (but again he came straight out of high school).
In Kobe’s rookie year – his highest scoring game was 24 points and he had 4 20 point games on the season.
And for those of you who are going to want to include DWade in the discussion of rookie SG scoring performance (and like Kobe, he had Shaq anchoring the middle and the defense’s attention)….he averaged 16.2 ppg on 34.9 minutes per game.
DWade had 19 games of 20 points or more in 61 games with a high game of 33 points (midway thru season).
So we could be on the verge of witnessing a very special scoring SG for the Nets.
Yeah but
Go YouTube Dwyane Wade rookie highlights. Stats aren’t everything, that kid was a lightning bolt.

Brooks is scoring 18ppg in games where he gets 20 or more mins
On top of that he’d be getting 20ppg in Antoni’s system. Nuff said!
This is soo dumb
Shumpert had 2 good games against the same terrible Charlotte team. For people to say he is ROY material is so biased and pro Knick, it makes me sick.
Further, the knicks have has such an easy schedule so far, while ours has been kinda brutal.
Marshon did it against:
Orlando
Boston
Indiana
Atlanta
And 2 of those games, he wasn’t 100%.
lol Shumpert hasn't had a bad game yet...
He hasn’t scored less than 10 points once all season. 10 points, 7 assists, and 5 steals against Washington isn’t a good game? You are only looking at his scoring numbers, and ignoring every other stat.
Against the Wiz?
C’Mon Son!! I think he’s a good player. But he’s gotta show that against Miami, Atlanta, Boston, etc. Putting up good numbers against the Wiz and the BobbleCats ain’t saying much.

I don't blame you
Although I don’t think Shumpert was ranked too high, there is no reason for Brooks to drop in the rankings. It isn’t fair to drop him considering how well he has been playing.
Guys are just hating on Shump
I love the kid & don’t have a problem with where he is. My problem is with how low MarShon is.
yeah I understand why you guys are upset
Marshon has been having a great season, and after a couple good games in a row Shumpert is ahead of him on the rookie rankings. I’m just defending Shumpert though. I think Brooks is a great player, and I wouldn’t be upset at all if he had been ranked higher. But its unfair to try and minimize Shumperts accomplishments this year. He has been great, and so has Brooks.
No, you're looking at per game stats
and not the efficiency stats of both players. Who’s the better overall rebounder? Brooks. The better shooter? Brooks. The better passer? Shumpert, but he turns the ball over a bunch. Who has more steals? Shumpert, but that doesn’t make him the better defender. Who has the higher PER (and especially usage rate)? Brooks.

I don't buy into the Hollinger statistics
Never have, and never will. Shumpert is just as good a rebounder. He is also doing it at the PG position. Brooks is a better scorer, and has been more efficient. I’m not going to argue with that. Defensively, you can’t compare the two. Shumpert has the potential to develop into a DPOY candidate. Brooks simply hasn’t been a liability like everybody expected.
I haven't seen that from Shumpert
but I will look for it. Brooks has been this team’s best perimeter defender by a mile, period. I think you are letting reputations cloud what is happening on the floor.

Thats true
Although he is being asked to run D’Antoni’s offense, to guard the best offensive player, and to score while not taking away shots from STAT and Melo. Brooks has a ton of pressure on him, but so does Shump. Not trying to take anything away from Brooks though. He is a great young player, and nobody could have expected this kind of impact.
Are you serious !!!
Look at all players in D’Antoni system; they all suck once they leave.
Shumpert is a good player, no doubt, but he’s trigger happy as well.
I like his D, but he’s not even close to ROY. Elite SG will eat him, so do the PG.
Good piece off the bench though, but now way a starter ….
Gallo is playing great basketball
Chandler probably would be as well. There are certain players that are products of his system. But he gets entirely too much credit for the success we have offensivey.
Gallo and Chandler played for the same type system, that's why!
Offensively they all flourish in his system, because they spend no energy on D, and have 7 sec or less to put it up. That is why you saw Shumpert taking like 23 shots that day he got hurt.
It’s the system that plays a big role (as far as non-stars).
Denver has a completely different system than NY
Karl runs a much more structured offense, and both of those players have still been good. Felton is also having a great season with Portland. D’Antoni gets too much credit for the success of his players.
I think right now Shumpert is more of a
complete player than Brooks and he looks very confident. He is also aided by playing with big guns.

What was the use of free agency for the Nets if Dwill and BK determined there was no talent that would put them closer to being a contender? Why didn’t the Nets just tell agents we are giving out 1 year deals and you might be traded to Orlando. All the hoopla was for nothing. If the Nets lose Dwill and Dwight I will forever hate Dwill AJ and BK. I understand the plan but if it fails who is to blame?

Shumpert and Brooks were my top choices back during the Draft
On Shumpert
Actually his offense is better suited for the NBA
The NBA game is more of a fullcourt, athletic mans game. That’s why a player like Russell Westbrook was marginal in college but ALL NBA and players like Adam Morrison struggle.
Shumpert’s game is based on getting into transition and the 45 shot clock in college leads to a slower paced, motion offense where teams get better shots and less oppurtunies to get fast breaks. The NBA 24 shot clock forces alot of bad shots thus leading to more transition.

Maybe it’s because Im a Nets fan and Im tired of watching opposing SG’s abuse Sasha and Morrow
Once a player gets past our TEAM MATADOR SG they completely break our defense down. Brook comes over to help and if he is late then the slasher scores. If he gets there on time the slasher just drops off the ball to Lopez’s man who cut to the basket once Lopez left him.
Shumpert is the best wing defender at SG in this draft and FA and fits our biggest need.

I would draft Brooks at #9
He has a 7-1 wingspan and averaged 7.1 rebounds in the Big East. He will be one of the top players when we look back on this draft 3 years from now. Besides his scoring prowess he has the ability to be a good rebounder and defender

Interesting.
I was actually impressed by some of your write-ups on some of this year (and next year’s) rookies. Not bad at all.
Thank you Dopeness
When we talk about “steal of the draft” consideration you have to take into acount where the were drafted.
Shumpert was pick #17
Brooks was pick #25
Brooks is by far the better value
by DWILL-of-the-GODZ on Jan 11, 2012 12:33 PM EST up reply actions
Yeah...
But wouldn’t you agree that Shumpert is the better player? From watching them both (in-person), I’d say so.
Obviously, that is yet to be determined. That’s just my early read on it.
I wouldnt say Shumpert or Brooks is better, they just fit different roles
Shumpert excels in a D’Antoni system, is a good on ball defender and great at playing passing lanes. He will never be the focal point of an offense.
Brooks has 20 ppg scoring ability. He plays well on defense but he doesnt have Shumperts Lockdown defender potential. I would rather have Brooks because I think he is more valueable but Shumpert will be in the NBA for a long, long time

Not realy
Shumpert’s game is all about athleticism. He is very quick with the ball. He likes to use his size and strength to get to spots on the floor
Brooks play more of a counter punchers type of basketball. He likes to hold the ball and wait for the defender to make a mistake. He is more of a finesse player
by DWILL-of-the-GODZ on Jan 11, 2012 12:49 PM EST up reply actions
Your also missing one point
Marshon is option #2 or possibly #1 on the offensive end the way this season is playing out. His usage% is higher than Iman THUS FAR. And the way you just described Marshon is the exact way Melo plays, which isn’t a bad thing.

I do like Shawne Williams
He hasnt been shooting well but he does alot of other things.
-He is a surprisingly good perimeter defender for his size. We got back into the gamee vs Atlanta when he came in and D’ed up Josh Smith
- He plays good team defense. You rarely see him out of position. He is our best pick and roll defender
- He has a high basketball IQ. He cuts to the basket as soon as his man leaves to double and he floats into the corner when the ball is reversed and he becomes a weakside shooter.
by DWILL-of-the-GODZ on Jan 11, 2012 12:44 PM EST up reply actions
I will give you the 'cut to the basket' properly
But I have seen him out of position on D many times
I have seen him out of position rebounding
He either doesn’t or can’t jump for a rebound\
and we hired him mostly for his shooting – how’s that been working out?
His shooting is coming around
Every player goes through a 5-8 game stretch where their shot fails them. His shooting mechanics look great still.
He is light in the backside so he is never going to be a good rebounder. It’s not that he is out of position on rebounds, it’s a stronger player rooting him out.
I think he is our best FA signing. His shot will fall.

I think he could be a Stevenson type of player
can create his own shot but lacks the true offensive talent and shot selection, has great athleticism to be a great defender.
Its a small sample size but
Iman does average more assist and steals than Marshon, and his usage% is slightly lower than Marshons as well.

Associating with Outlaw is campaign suicide
This is terrific news
I think something else that plays a role in this is the way MarShon looks while he's doing what he does
Shumpert looks alot faster, more exciting when he has the ball. MarShon is so long it seems like he’s playing in slow motion but I still like MarShon better . MarShon is easily the better scorer and rebounder. Shump is a better defender and passer. I would pick MarShon over Shumpert because i think he can become as good at everything Shumpert specializes in and be a dominant scorer. One thing that doesn’t work in Brooks favor is how bad the players are on our team finishing after the catch.

Brooks takes to much time to make his move
He waste 5-7 seconds of the shot clock setting his man up. He needs to be quicker with the ball.
He also cheats to much on Defense whether it be on double teams or crashing the boards.

Nah just by a STAT jersey and say "the Knicks are back" alot
Him and Melo are the only players that a lot of our “fans” actually know. I am hoping that we lose some of the bandwagon fans once you guys move to Brooklyn lol.
Also, its important to boo a lot

If you read how smart this kid is and how confident he is already you cant help but think he is going to be a star.
“My thing has been into the paint. At least before my ankle injury [in Boston last week], I was getting in the paint a lot, and that’s big for me. I thought I’d have to work on my strength a little bit more, which I still do, to get in there, but I’ve pretty much been in the paint when I’ve wanted to be, and that’s surprised me a little bit.”
Ya he was even in the paint against the Magic.
He knows how to avoid getting blocked, i loved that move he put on J-Smooth againts the Hawks last game, even if he missed the shot initially.

Swag is good, but he's not second coming, at least not yet.
He’s basically the best player on his team after D-Will, and we are only 10 games in.
He’s got long ways to go.
Will I give him in a D12 trade? Heck to the YEAH! Will even drive him south if need be!
I think BK will give him or Morrow, not both. Which is not necessarily a bad thing. Morrow will be money with D12 in the middle, and Swag is not a bad option. Either way we’ll be fine assuming that D12 goes down.
Swag if he’s what we’re hoping he’ll become can always come to brooklyn when his time comes (say 3-5 yrs down the road)…..
ill take swag over morrow he's also already a better defender

I would to, but I could care less for either one when it comes to D12.
My point is that we’ll keep one of them.
Swag is preferred, but Morrow will be money (and maybe more important) with D12 in the middle.
The list is kind of a joke.
Brandon Knight has been really bad so far and he’s one spot behind Brooks.
And the rest of the list makes no sense either. It’s almost like he threw darts at some pictures on his wall.
Oh pissing blimey there's jam coming out of the walls!
Tyreke Evans won rookie of the year even though he wasnt on a great team, it doesnt matter how good your team is
Shumpert is their only PG and he is dishing out assists because thats his job, Marshon has given a lot of nice passes but they get bricked by our shooters.
Tyreke Evans had an unreal rookie season.
He averaged 20/5/5, the first rookie to average that since MJ, Oscar Robertson, and Lebron James.

do we handicap Shumpert's #s based on the offense he plays in?
Duhon had a solid year under D’Antoni too. Shumpert > Duhon of course. But Iman is doing what he’s doing playing with two all-world forwards.
