Landry Shamet Expected To Make Knicks' Regular Season Roster 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Fri Oct 11, 2024 4:17 pm

The New York Knicks are likely to keep Landry Shamet into the regular season, sources tell Fred Katz of The Athletic. Because the Knicks are up against the hard cap, the other spot will likely go to a rookie on a minimum salary.


Shamet has averaged 11.0 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 22.9 minutes over two preseason games with the Knicks.


Shamet spent last season with the Washington Wizards, averaging 7.1 points in 15.8 minutes over 46 games. Shamet is a career 38.4 percent three-point shooter.

He ain't great, but every team in the NBA has players on their bench at Shamet's level. You need garbage-time and spot-minute players that aren't going to try and earn more playing time. Just run the sets.

Just like your favourite team's bench.
