Knicks Sign Wing Landry Shamet to One-Year Contract

What's the News?

The New York Knicks have signed wing Landry Shamet to a one-year contract, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. The deal is reportedly worth $4.3 million.

Why it Matters

Shamet is a 25-year-old shooting guard who has played for the Philadelphia 76ers, Los Angeles Clippers, and Phoenix Suns. He is a career 41.1% shooter from three-point range and has averaged 9.3 points per game.

Shamet is expected to provide the Knicks with a much-needed boost in shooting. The Knicks ranked 29th in the NBA in three-point shooting last season, and Shamet should help them improve in that area.
