Sixers' rookie Landry Shamet showing promise with shooting touch

Landry Shamet took a huge leap from the first game of the season to the second.

The 76ers reserve rookie shooting guard looked like he had a little stage fright in Tuesday’s 105-87 setback to Celtics in Boston. He finished with just one point while missing all four of his shots — including two three-pointers.

Then on Thursday, he displayed his smooth stroke in a 127-108 victory over the Chicago Bulls. Shamet had 12 points on 4-for-7 shooting, all three-pointers.

“I’ll be honest — that first was like that’s your first game in the Garden, I was ready to run through a wall at like 2 in the afternoon,” he said.
