Shumpert was previously a member of the Houston Rockets before being picked up by the Nets. He began his career as the 17th overall pick in the 2011 NBA Draft, spending the first 3 and a half years of his career with the New York Knicks before being traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers in January 2015.

The move paid dividends for Shump, as he was a key bench player in the Cavs’ 2016 Championship run. He was later traded to the Sacramento Kings in February 2018, then to the Rockets this past February.

A 2008 McDonalds All-American, Shumpert played for 3 years in a Georgia Tech uniform. In his junior year, he led the team in scoring with 17.3 points per game before declaring for the NBA Draft and forgoing his senior season.
