The team is always looking for shooters to space the floor around Joel Embid and Ben Simmons. And the Sixers think they got that in Shamet, the 26th pick in this year's NBA draft.
"When you play with guys like Ben and Joel, it's just going to make your life easier," Shamet said. "You know just having to knock down open looks when they come to you and play defense."
The 6-foot-5, 189-pounder will once again focus on those two things in Monday morning's preseason game against the Dallas Mavericks at the Shenzhen Universiade Sports Centre. This is the second of two games the teams will participate as part of NBA China Games.
