Iman Shumpert tore the ACL in his left knee late last April, and he admits he still is not 100 percent comfortable making the same moves and plays he did a season ago.

"I don't feel I'm the player from last year," Shumpert said. "I just came off an ACL. I went four months with no basketball. I couldn't do anything with a basketball except really just stand-in-place stuff. So when you're trying to come back, your rhythm is all messed. Sometimes you dribble the ball. The ball doesn't come back up or it's high. There's a lot that goes into it."

Even so, Shumpert says his lateral movement is "fine" and he has slowly returned to his old form defensively.
