The Nets is already Shamet's third team in his young NBA career. To recall, Shamet was the 26th overall pick by the Philadelphia 76ers in the 2018 NBA Draft. In his rookie season, he was sent to the Clippers in a deal that involved forward Wilson Chandler, center Mike Muscala, and some draft picks.
Amid a relatively shaky start to his professional career, Shamet's performed up to par. He was tagged as one of the steals of his draft class. So much so that he was named to the NBA All-Rookie Second Team.
Last season — his first full year with an NBA team — Shamet averaged 9.3 points, 1.9 rebounds, and 1.9 assists across 27.4 minutes. He was one of the vital pieces of the Clippers' second unit. His shooting from the perimeter and from deep were his main assets that helped turn the Doc Rivers-coached squad one of the titans of the West.
With the Nets, Landry Shamet will team up with the Durant-Irving duo. Led by first-time head coach Steve Nash, the Nets are expected to make waves in the 2020-21 season.
