Landry Shamet Secures Final Knicks Roster Spot After Strong Preseason Performance

Landry Shamet has earned the final veteran spot on the New York Knicks' roster, following the team's decision to waive Garrison Mathews and Malcolm Brogdon's retirement earlier this week. Shamet, who joined the Knicks last year, appeared in 50 games off the bench, averaging 5.7 points on 46.1 percent shooting (39.7 percent from three) in 15.2 minutes. He showcased his abilities in the preseason finale on Friday, logging 20 minutes off the bench, scoring 11 points on 3-for-5 shooting (all from three), and finishing with a plus-3 rating in the 113-108 victory over Charlotte. His strong performance was key in securing his place on the team.
