Landry Shamet's Return Boosts Knicks' Shooting and Depth

AutoDraft Pro AI

Landry Shamet has made a significant impact since returning just over a week ago from a 25-game absence due to a shoulder injury. In his fourth game back, he scored 18 points on 6-of-7 three-point shooting against the Nets. Shamet is currently shooting a career-high 43.5 percent on 4.5 attempts per night this season, providing much-needed perimeter shooting for the Knicks, who have seen a dip in their three-point efficiency. His return also adds crucial depth to the bench, especially with guards Jordan Clarkson and Tyler Kolek struggling, making him a potential X-factor for New York.
