The signing comes after <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/knicks-make-final-landry-shamet-roster-decision">New York waved Shamet earlier this year</a> after he <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/knicks-news-landry-shamet-exits-hornets-game-in-pain-injury">suffered a shoulder injury in a pre-season game</a>. But Shamet joining the team was always part of the plan, and he adds another versatile veteran to the Knicks bench. Now, the Knicks look poised to be even better than expected considering <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/knicks-recent-success-molded-mikal-bridges-fit">how well they’ve played of late</a>, and Shamet adds importance depth, and shooting to a team in desperate need of both things.</p><h2><b>Landry Shamet signing helps Knicks out in a position of need</b></h2><p>Shamet is a six-year veteran with <a href="https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/s/shamela01.html" rel="noopener">career averages</a> of 10.8 points in 22 minutes per game, and he has converted 38.4% of three-point attempts, according to basketball reference. Prior to last season, Shamet’s career <i>low</i> was 8.3 points per game (36.8% three-point shooting).</p><p>Granted, Shamet’s stat line was less impressive last season (7.1 points on 33.8% three-point shooting); however, that can be a result of one of two things: he played a career-low 15.8 minutes per game, and he had fewer open looks as a result of the Washington Wizards lack of offensive threats.</p><p>Regardless, Shamet is a gifted shooter who coach Tom Thibodeau values because of his experience playing with Cam Payne and Mikal Bridges (while on the Phoenix Suns). He is unlikely to play major minutes, as Payne is the backup point guard and Mikal Bridges and Miles McBride have most of the shooting guard minutes locked down. Still, the six-foot-four-inch shooting guard represents another shooter with a real NBA pedigree, and that can be meaningful.</p><h2><b>Knicks’ depth is improved by Shamet</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Landry-Shamet-converts-a-layup-against-the-Minnesota-Timberwolves-in-a-pre-season-matchup.jpg"><figcaption>Vincent Carchietta-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The Knicks rotation can absolutely use another shooting guard. The depth chart is awfully thin at the moment. Beyond their starting five, the Knicks play only four players, consistently—Miles McBride, Precious Achiuwa, Cam Payne, and Jericho Sims. Sims and Achiuwa are both big men who are entirely necessary considering a lack of size in the starting five.</p><p>In other words, the Knicks bench boasts only two non-big men, and both are point guards (or traditional point guard size). So, if Bridges, Josh Hart, or O.G. Anunoby get into foul trouble or—God forbid—get injured, there were no notable backups, until now.</p><h2><b>Landry Shamet as an insurance policy</b></h2><p>Landry Shamet is as much an insurance policy as he is a weapon. His experience and cool demeanor mean he can hold down the fort for an extended period of time without the team coming completely undone. Sure, New York needs its starters to succeed on a bigger scale (e.g., in the playoffs), but having capable depth is incredibly important.</p><p>Think back to last season. After going on an absolute heater after adding Anunoby, New York struggled without Anunoby and Julius Randle. Why? Because two capable forwards were out at the same time for a number of months. But the presence of Hart (and to a lesser degree, Achiuwa) helped the Knicks stay afloat. So, instead of going 7-20 (or possibly worse), the Knicks went 13-14, keeping them in prime playoff position.</p><p>Of course, it felt like the world was ending in the moment; but in hindsight, going without Anunoby and Randle didn’t do <i>that</i> much damage. Shamet can play a similar role if needed (which hopefully is not).</p><p>To be clear, there is still more to do in terms of fleshing out the depth chart. Specifically, New York still needs a bigger wing (we see you, TJ Warren). However, that’s a problem for another day. For now, the Knicks just added a tangible piece to a team that was dangerously thin at his position. And just think, the Knicks front office has another month-and-a-half to maneuver before the trade deadline.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The margin of victory probably could have been larger had the Celtics not spent the last six minutes shooting exhibition-like three-pointers in an attempt to break the all-time NBA record, which they tied but never eclipsed.</p><p>The Knicks are hoping that’s not a sign of things to come for a team that went all-in this offseason and traded for Karl-Anthony Towns to add some scoring punch to their frontcourt. Despite the discouraging loss, there are signs that the Knicks should land on their feet and be just fine.</p><p>This roster is too talented to not perform well as long as they’re healthy. Mikal Bridges and OG Anunoby form one of the best defensive duos in the league on the wing and Jalen Brunson proved last season that he can get a bucket with the best of them.</p><p>In the middle, Towns gives the Knicks a shooter that they didn’t have before, and they <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/knicks-news-stephen-a-smith-disbelief-latest-mitchell-robinson-injury-update">should get Mitchell Robinson back</a> at some point to help out the defense.

His other bylines include the Brooklyn Nets, Phoenix Suns, and Washington Wizards.</p><p>Shamet is a valuable sharpshooter who can boost the Knicks’ floor spacing, should the team bring him back. ClutchPoints’ Brett Siegel explained why <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/knicks-news-landry-shamet-injury-update-sheds-light-contract-situation">Shamet’s presence would be well</a> for New York.</p><p>“It would make sense for New York to keep Shamet despite his injury since he has always been a reliable three-point shooter. While he has struggled to find his shot in the preseason, shooting just 30 percent from the perimeter in four games with the Knicks, Shamet has shot 38.4 percent from deep for his career,” Siegel wrote on Oct. 18.</p><p>“Last season with the Washington Wizards, Shamet averaged 7.1 points per game while shooting 33.8 percent from three-point range.”</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Unfortunately for the 27-year-old, he <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/knicks-news-landry-shamet-exits-hornets-game-in-pain-injury">suffered a shoulder injury in a preseason game</a> against the Charlotte Hornets on Tuesday.</p><p>Initially, the severity of Shamet’s injury was not known, but it did not look good since he left the game in obvious pain holding his right shoulder. After undergoing further testing, the team revealed that Shamet had <a href="https://x.com/NY_KnicksPR/status/1847382161625928079" rel="noopener">dislocated his right shoulder</a> and that he will be re-evaluated at a later date.</p><p>This is not the best news for the team nor for Shamet, as he has been looking for a chance to make the Knicks’ opening-night roster. While it appears as if his contract with the team is now in jeopardy right before the start of the new season, the language that New York used in Shamet’s injury report suggests that they may keep him around.</p><p>The fact that the Knicks made it clear to state that Shamet would be re-evaluated at a later date makes it sound like he will be on the active roster ahead of the start of the new season. The Knicks currently have 12 players on their active roster and are $3.5 million below the second apron maximum of $188.9 million, which they are hard-capped at.</p><p>It would <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/knicks-news-new-york-secondary-players-2024-25-season">make sense for New York to keep Shamet</a> despite his injury since he has always been a reliable three-point shooter. While he has struggled to find his shot in the preseason, shooting just 30 percent from the perimeter in four games with the Knicks, Shamet has shot 38.4 percent from deep for his career. Last season with the Washington Wizards, Shamet averaged 7.1 points per game while shooting 33.8 percent from three-point range.</p><p>Shamet, who originally signed an Exhibit 9 contract with the Knicks in the preseason, is protected from injury and will receive some compensation from the team should he be waived between now and the start of the regular season. However, it does appear as if Shamet could remain in New York and work his way back from this shoulder injury.</p><p>Further updates on Shamet’s injury, as well as his contract status with the Knicks, will be given prior to the start of the 2024-25 season.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He went right to the locker room <a href="https://x.com/IanBegley/status/1846360685267075129" rel="noopener">in significant pain</a>, per Ian Begley on X, formerly Twitter.</p><p>The Knicks defeated the Hornets 111-105, with Shamet chipping in for eight points and two rebounds.

He’s drilled at least a pair of threes in each game to this point. His sharpshooting prowess, and adequate size for a combo guard at 6-foot-4, 190 pounds, he has been a proper addition to the Knicks during their preseason perfection, and that should continue to translate to the regular season.</p><p>Although he’s been a journeyman for most of his NBA career, Shamet has been an impactful role player on each of his five teams before joining the Knicks. He played 61 games for the Brooklyn Nets in the 2020-21 season, so he’s no stranger to the Big Apple. And it’s seemed to have helped him make the successful transition to the Knicks’ loaded roster.</p><p>Shamet and the Knicks return to preseason action on October 18. Shamet would get his first attempt at besting <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/wizards-news-washington-makes-11-million-landry-shamet-decision">his former Washington Wizards team</a>, but the Knicks will likely monitor his ailment in the upcoming days to fully determine his status.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
