valentineThis guy put up some crazy vertical and bench press numbers.I dont even see him at all on the mock draft?he should go in the 20’s somewhere and would annihilate pg’s in the post with his 222 lb. frame.
right now the sleeper of the draft

ilike.panochasParticipantIt’s an ok comparison, I never understood how anyone can label Stephenson a PG tho, he is nothing of a PG to me. Shumpert has a chance to stick at the PG, I see him as an Antonio Daniels type back up PG.

cabbycabParticipantCould be a nice pickup for someone.
He averaged 11/4/5 in his Frosh year. 5 dimes for a 6-5 guy is pretty darn impressive.
Reminds me of a beefier version of Smush Parker.

About as impressive as 5 assists and 4 turnovers a night can be, especially at 39% from the floor.
Smush Parker is a good comparison though. Smush Parker or former GT guard Javaris Crittenton, even though Crittenton was more of a PG.

butidonthavemoneyPeople look WAYYY too much into the athletic combine.
Iman Shumpert is the same prospect he’s always been, which is a fairly mediocre one.
This is like last year when Luke Babbitt had a nice combine and people were calling him a "shorter, more athletic Dirk Nowitzki".

royk927Participanthe became the guy at Georgia Tech this past year while he put up decent numbers that is a showing that at this time hes not a player that will have a Blake , Durant or Wall or rose type impact however. If used the right way he could be a OJ Mayo type that can score as well as distribute the ball basically a back up.

That would be using him, the WRONG way.

del90ParticipantIman Shumpert is the real deal. He reminds me of Penny or George Hill. Bulls should draft him to bring the ball up the court for Rose, play alongside Rose and to play behind him. Two picks after, they should get Scotty Hopson.

mbdfanParticipantAre the verticals at the NFL combine standing verticals? If so i’m baffled at the standing vert difference between NBA and NFL players. The NFL standing verts are higher than most of these guys running verts.

butidonthavemoneyAnfernee Hardaway and George Hill were very efficient, very intelligent and excellent shooters.
Iman Shumpert has a very low basketball IQ, a horrid shot selection, poor shooting numbers and reported attitude problems.

surveParticipant"People look WAYYY too much into the athletic combine."
I dont. Means almost zilch to me. I seen Shumpert play a lot because I am in ACC country. He is a tremendous athlete, I didnt need to see the combine to find that out. Shumpert is an intriuging even if mediocre prospect. He is a physically gifted pure talent of a player that lacks IQ and consistency. The reason why Shumpert will stick is because he can guard 1’s and 2’s and maybe even 3’s. He has a little bit of all the players mentioned on this thread except I dont see the Stevenson. He reminds me of another guy from the Chicago area….Kendall Gill

mikeyvthedonParticipantA running vertical. Now, will he really be jumping 42 inches every time he goes up for a block or a shot. Yes, the guy put up monster combine numbers, but Jorrye and Money both hit it on the head. He shot 40% from the field, and 28% from the three point line. He is a TO machine, and he is not going to morph into Dwyane Wade or Derrick Rose overnight. His physical tools are very impressive, but it takes a lot more than that. I am guessing he will probably be much more of a defensive presence than do anything on offense, and I have to wonder if you really want him running the point for your NBA team. Definitely do not expect him to be much of an offensive option though, as he seems much more likely to take bad shots than post up smaller PG’s.

iguapops420ParticipantLarry Hughes upside. Smush Parker/Deshawn Stevensson downside. This has been my dude since freshman year.

kobyzParticipantafter thhe measurements and the athletic testing results it may appear that Shumpert could be like Ronnie Brewer in the NBA!

HaleParticipantNFL players verticals are higher because most football players live in the weight room, where basketball player for the most part don’t.

JoeWolf1Yeah, good testing doesn’t negate poor bball intellect. If I did the combine I’d hold up with a lot of the propects on athletic tests, but that doesn’t mean I could play in the NBA.
The highest vertical in combine history belongs to Kenny Gregory – 0 NBA games played.

iguapops420ParticipantWatch Shumpert play. The kid is an NBA player. He has NBA level skill that with the right team or vet players could be developed even beter. Again, I say, Larry Hughes type upside.

ball4life66ParticipantLOL really Nomoney. Shumpert has NO problems with attitude. I can gurantee you that’s BS. He also does NOT have a low basketball IQ. He is a streaky outside shooter but he is a very good prospect and should no doubt be a first round pick. His game has improved so much since his freshman year.

JNixonParticipant"LOL really Nomoney. Shumpert has NO problems with attitude. I can gurantee you that’s BS. He also does NOT have a low basketball IQ."
I live in the Atlanta area and hear all the time by those that are close to the program that he often missed curfews and was a party animal. He also freelanced alot on the court, and even though Coach Hewitt didn’t like it, he’s never been much of a disciplinarian and he often let it slide with Shumpert when he was a Sophomore and Junior. He comes off hard-headed when watching him play.
And how can someone who hits a grand total of 29% of their jump shots overall but who has 2/3 of his offense made up by jumpers not have a low basketball IQ? He takes a bunch of shots off the dribbles, but makes 20% of them not have a low IQ? Averages more than 3 topg over his career, and he’s not a low IQ player? You gus have to watch these players play before you go saying things about them. You won’t find a single soul, outside of maybe his mom or somebody, that thinks he’s a smart basketball player. He probably has the lowest basketball IQ of any perimter player in the draft right now.

ball4life66ParticipantUhhh I live in Atlanta too and have watched every single GT game and I am pretty positive he doesn’t have a low basketball IQ. If you said this after his freshman year I would agree with you. I don’t know where you are coming up with those stats but I have a hard time believing those percentages are accurate. His biggest problem is being a streaky outside shooter but he is a good mid range shooter, good ball handler, good passer and good scorer. No doubt he is a great prospect and like I said SHOULD be a first round pick.

Well either you have a low basketball IQ or he does……or more than likely both. I don’t think you will find a single person that will say Iman Shumpert is a great decision maker or a steady player. If he was smart, with his physical and athletic ability, he would be a lottery pick. There is a reason you’re saying he *should* be a 1st round pick. If he was actually a smart player, he wouldn’t take nearly as many bad shots or force as much action as he has over his career, and there would be no questions about him being a 1st round prospect.
"I don’t know where you are coming up with those stats but I have a hard time believing those percentages are accurate"
Well got to Draftexpress.com and read his scouting report. That’s a site off the top of my head that has his stats listed.
