Cleveland Cavaliers: Iman Shumpert

Iman Shumpert has been in the NBA for six years, bouncing back and forth from the New York Knicks to the Cleveland Cavaliers.

However, Shumpert found his niche coming off the bench for the Cavaliers last season and providing the spark of energy for the second unit. Shumpert should continue to be that spark of energy off the bench; an above average defender, which is exactly where his elite athleticism can be put to use.

Currently, J.R. Smith has yet to re-sign with the Cleveland Cavaliers, if this continues to be the case look for Shumpert’s work load to increase drastically.
