When the interim-GM Brett Brown choose Landry Shamet 26th overall for the Philadelphia 76ers, there was a sense of confusion and even disappointment among some fans as he wasn’t a well-known name. The confusion made sense, as most draft boards had him going somewhere in the second round.
Over time, Shamet has proved himself to fans and the team, as he looks to be a valuable contributor going forward.
Over the past 10+ games, Landry Shamet has been a very productive rotation piece for the team. Not many young players get playing time when they are picked late into the draft, but Brett Brown has chosen to give Shamet nearly 20 minutes a night.
