Nets Video Breakdown: What Will Iman Shumpert Bring To Brooklyn?

With the Nets signing Iman Shumpert yesterday, it makes sense that I (@TheJManJBT) would do a video breakdown of his game.

Here's a look at what he'll bring to Brooklyn.

He shows good instincts to cut off the Lillard pass and then backs it up with the three on the other end. pic.twitter.com/iVUc2gCU9C

His on-ball defense could be utilised to a decent degree.

He shows off that skill here as he shows good foot speed to force the steal on LaVine. pic.twitter.com/yOiP1R77MV

He’s shot 34% from the perimeter across his career.

His mechanics on the three ball are fluid and should fit in nicely as a threat from the area. pic.twitter.com/HV0P8EeOrH

If he can show this defensive energy and peskiness he’ll no doubt earn some minutes.

It’s something the Nets could sorely use. pic.twitter.com/dvzwZuBetH

Here he just yanks the ball away from Kurucs with force and gets the Kings out in the open court, where they operate best offensively. pic.twitter.com/TFurLkaN2M

Thwarts Beverley on the drive. It’s like he almost gives him an extra step so he can time the strip to perfection and force the turnover. pic.twitter.com/IWBvVr0ZyK

Can create his own shot given the situation, as he does here using the glass to knock home the mid ranger. pic.twitter.com/wDUVPLeBHh

Love how he immediately calls for the ball as the Kings get out in transition.

He knows he’s gonna find an open spot to get off a three. In this case he does and earns a 4-point play opportunity in the process. pic.twitter.com/DWBHrv8zrF
