6. Iman Shumpert Knicks fans might like to see Iman Shumpert higher than sixth, but playing out of position at point guard has led him to struggle at times this season. Shumpert is being asked to play outside of his comfort zone, and the numbers prove it. According to 82games.com, Shumpert has posted a PER of 2.2 as a point guard and 25.6 as a shooting guard. Right now, Shumpert is playing 25 percent of the Knicks' point guard minutes and 14 percent of their shooting guard minutes. On pick-and-rolls, Shumpert shoots just 24.1 percent from the field and commits turnovers 23.1 percent of the time. His PPP when using ball screens is 0.462, in the bottom 7 percent of NBA players. Those aren't point guard numbers, but Shumpert still deserves a ranking because of the talent he's displayed and the fact that he has performed so well during his short time as a shooting guard. When cutting off the basketball — like a shooting guard would — Shumpert is posting a PPP of 1.200 and shooting 66.7 percent. If the Knicks give him more minutes at shooting guard and Shumpert keeps these numbers up, he could rise into the top three of these rankings. If he continues to play most of his minutes at point guard, he might drop off the list completely.

Al Iannazzone: #Knicks Notes: Baron Davis could play during next week's trip and Stoudemire wanted to be on Team USA: http://bit.ly/zuX5qtFrank Isola: Baron Davis must be getting close with the Knicks sending Jeremy Lin, as well as Jerome Jordan, to the D-LeagueHoward Beck: To those asking: Sending players to D-League does NOT open spots on NBA roster. Knicks still have 15.Al Iannazzone: #Knicks forget about Amar'e down the stretch as Melo, bad wrist and all, keeps shooting and missing: http://bit.ly/yRuVtl #nykFrank Isola: Knick scouts are all in New York for meetings and here at practice including the great Ben JobeAlan Hahn: In #NBA GM Poll, Tyson Chandler acqusition ranked third most surprising move; Shumpert ranked second among sleeper rookies. #KnicksAlan Hahn: Mike D'Antoni tied 5th with Mike Brown (odd) with coach who runs the best offense, behind Adelman, Carlisle and Popovich. Otherwise, not much else about the #Knicks in the NBA GM survey. Check it out here: http://on.nba.com/yeVnZvBrian Mahoney: Brown's never been known for his offensive schemes. Perhaps D'Antoni has really fallen since Knicks haven't had an offense yet this year.Howard Beck: Annual GM survey not kind to Knicks. Finished behind Boston (64%) and Philly (21%) on question of who will win Atlantic DivisionHoward Beck: Carmelo finished third on question of who is best small forward, behind LeBron and Durant. Amare did not finish in top 8 for best PF
