1,200th Total Rebound

As a defensive-minded player, Shumpert does well on the boards, especially for a guard who stands 6-foot-5. He has a total of 1,057 total rebounds and a career average of 3.6 per game. If he can grab that number over his career average of 58 games, Shumpert can wind up with 1,268 rebounds, well past the 1,200th total rebound mark. Furthermore, Shumpert averaged slightly more rebounds per game last year at 3.8, which puts him even more comfortably over the 1,200th milestone.

Since he is so savvy on defense, it’s no surprise that Shumpert can reach a milestone in defensive rebounds. He has 816 as of right now and averages 2.8 per game. At that rate over 58 games, Shumpert can snag 164 rebounds, amounting to 980 total. That puts him well past the 900th defensive rebound mark. Even better, he averaged 3.2 defensive rebounds with the Cavs last year. At that rate, over 58 games, Shumpert may even be able to grab his 1,000th defensive rebound.
