No shump played poorly at the 1 which is why the knicks were using melo at the point before melo said um, play lin.

No, when Lin got hurt baron davis started handling the rock. Shump averaged 8.6 points a game in April once lin went down. In fact, that month was his lowest scoring month that season (it got lower every month)

So if shump made lin expendable, why did the knicks go out and get felton. Not only did they get felton, they played kidd and prigioni at point before they played shump at point.

shump played 22 mins a game last season son.

And i'm a huge shump fan btw.
