Shane Larkin is not very highly regarded among many in NBA circles.
Brooklyn is the 23-year old backup point guard’s third stop in as many years after being selected 18th overall in the 2013 draft by Atlanta (his rights were traded to Dallas on draft night). The Knicks acquired him prior to last season and then let him walk away as a free agent following an unproductive campaign.
Larkin entered his first season with the Nets with a 42 percent career field-goal percentage, which included a dismal 30.5 percent efficiency from 3-point range.
