The Ballad of Landry Shamet

A well-traveled catch-and-shoot marksman who found a title in New York — bench spacing for a champion.

Beyond the game

Shamet's path was shaped by adversity and support. His mother Melanie played volleyball at Boise State, and his family went through bankruptcy during his middle-school years; an uncle, Tyler, was a key support. He didn't meet his father, a former professional basketball player, until 2021.

On the court his identity is singular and valuable: shooting. A career catch-and-shoot marksman, he bounced through six franchises before finding a home and a ring in New York, proving that elite floor-spacing always finds a place on a contender.
