The Brooklyn Nets waived veteran guard Iman Shumpert early Thursday morning. Should the Atlanta Hawks’ take a look at signing him? The addition could make a lot of sense for both parties.
Shump has been known for 2 main things during his 11 year NBA career: defense and 3-point scoring, which just so happen to among the Hawk’s biggest weaknesses currently.
The Georgia Tech product has shifty hands and quick feet on defense, not unlike former Hawk Kent Bazemore. He would instantly become the Hawks’ best defender, especially on the perimeter.
His career shooting percentage from range is just 33%, but Shump has always been a streaky shooter.
