This recruit could be the next Landry Shamet. What his family thought of WSU visit

A 6-foot-5 guard who is considered a sharpshooter, but has the court vision to possibly transition to point guard at the collegiate level.

Sound familiar, Shockers fans?

It’s the route that Landry Shamet took at Wichita State that ultimately made him a first-round NBA Draft pick. And it’s a course that WSU coaches envision for 2019 prospect Devin Butts, who took his official visit to WSU over this past weekend.

Hearing that comparison intrigued Devin Butts, a three-star prospect from Macon, Ga., and his father, Derex, who was also on the visit.

“They’re clearly doing something right out there with guards because they keep churning them out in the NBA,” Derex Butts told the Eagle in a phone interview.
