Cleveland Cavaliers player watch: Iman Shumpert’s milestones to look for in 2016-17

900th Field Goal

Shumpert is a two-way guard with explosive speed, which allows him to drive to the basket. But he also has a reliable jump shot and can shoot open threes. He currently has 813 total field goals and a career average of 2.8 per game. With that number over his career average 58 games, Shumpert can wind up with 977 field goals. And even with his slightly lower 2015-16 average of 2.1 field goals per game, he can reach that 900th field goal.

Shumpert can also reach milestones specifically into two and three-pointers. He currently has 528 two-point field goals and a career average of 1.8 per game. If he can get that over 58 games, he’ll end up with 633 two-pointers. And even with his lower 2015-16 average of 1.3 two pointers per game, he can still reach that 600 mark.

As for three-pointers, Shumpert has 285 total right now. With only 15 until 300, and with the way the Cavs play, it’s almost a given that he’ll reach 300. Moreover, his career average is one three-pointer per game, meaning he’d get 343 threes by the end of the year at that rate. And even with his lower 2015-16 average of 0.8 threes per game, Shumpert will still pass the 300th three milestone.
