New York Knicks Ink Free Agent G Landry Shamet to One-Year Contract

Shamet, a 27-year-old basketball player, has a diverse career history having played on five different teams in the last seven years. His most recent stint was with the Washington Wizards, where he showcased his skills by averaging 7.1 points per game in just 15.8 minutes of play. His accuracy from three-point range was notable, shooting at an impressive 33.8 percent.

Over his career, Shamet is a 38.4 percent three-point shooter, averaging 8.7 points per game.

Shamet fits as a veteran depth piece - which the Knicks lacked last year as the injuries mounted. He also reunites with Mikal Bridges, whom he played with in Phoenix.

Per Begley, the Knicks had the edge over other suitors for Shamet because he was looking for a winning environment.

The Knicks are allowed to have up to 21 players under contract in training camp but must get down to 15 guaranteed contracts by Opening Night.
