Ex-Wichita State Sniper Now Knicks' Efficient Sixth Man
Landry Shamet, the sharpshooting guard who lit up college hoops at Wichita State with his elite 3-point stroke during his 2017-18 freshman year (40.8% from deep), has evolved into a reliable NBA bench spark for the 2025-26 New York Knicks, averaging 9.3 PPG on 43.7% FG while flashing microwave scoring like 18 points (6/6 3PT) vs. Nets (+23) and 14 vs. Thunder (+12). His zero-turnover poise, defensive peskiness (2 STL, 1 BLK in key games), and positive impact make him a low-risk, high-reward fit for contenders needing instant offense without drama.
