Shooting shot after shot in the Clippers’ practice gym, Landry Shamet couldn’t help but notice that one of his teammates, Montrezl Harrell, was staring at him. As far as Landry could tell, he wasn’t doing anything particularly noteworthy; certainly nothing that was worth being stared at. His clothes were normal, his hair looked the same…

Landry Shamet 21 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (3/3/2019)
Landry “Shamwow” Shamet really lived up to his nickname in the first quarter of this one. Six three-pointers in the period! I wouldn’t say that my BHL (Blood-Hype Level) reach critically dangerous levels at any point, but it was definitely elevated to the point where I had to lie down in a dark room with…

After scoring seventeen and fifteen points in his first two games with the Clippers, it seemed like destiny that Landry “Shamwow” Shamet would continue to tread the path laid down by J.J. Redick in Los Angeles. But his production suffered in subsequent games, and, after five games of scoring in the single-digits, Shamwow is just…
Read MoreLandry Shamet 17 Points Clippers Debut Full Highlights (2/9/2019)
The Clippers were supposed to be tanking. All the moves they made at the trade deadline indicated that they were done competing for a playoff spot this season. I could see their reasoning; their Harris/Gallinari/Williams core, while decent, was not quite a playoff team in the West. They moved on from some players, got back…
Read MoreLandry Shamet 18 Points Full Highlights (1/21/2019)
Landry Shamet averaged 5 assists per game in his final season at Wichita State. That’s… a lot of assists! I am absolutely surprised by that figure, because right now he’s doing hardly any playmaking. For comparison, Chris Paul averaged only 6.6 in his final college season. That’s not even a whole lot more, and Paul…

If the 76ers are thinking that Landry Shamet can be a long-term replacement for J.J. Redick, this game definitely added some legitimacy to that idea. However, it didn’t do anything to help the main issue that’s standing in the way of their plan, which is that Shamet is simply WAY weirder-looking than Redick. By a…

There are some nice-looking rookies this year, but not a whole lot of them are from the latter half of the first round. Landry “Shamwow” Shamet, taken 26th overall, is the best of the bunch. Kevin Hurter and Omari Spellman are pretty good too, but then there a bunch of players who barely see the…
Read MoreLandry Shamet 16 Points Full Highlights (12/16/2018)
Landry “Shamwow” Shamet continues his strong-shooting rookie campaign by going 6-of-7 from the field (4-of-5 from three). The applicability of the nickname “Shamwow” is still in doubt, because nothing he does ever makes me or anybody else go “WOW!”, but it’s a good nickname, so as long as he’s shooting above 38% from three he…
Read MoreLandry Shamet 16 Points Full Highlights (11/25/2018)
With his 8.2 points per game, Landry “Shamwow” Shamet is the best-scoring outside-the-lottery player in last year’s draft. He’s also the ninth highest-scoring player in the draft overall. The Sixers might be missing out on Zhaire Smith and whatever he would be doing, but at least they uncovered a guy with the 26th pick that…

I don’t know if Landry Shamet has yet earned the nickname “Shamwow”, but I’m gonna go ahead and bestow him the nickname anyway. He can keep it. It’s a good nickname and it was just sitting on my nickname shelf gathering dust with nobody to use it. What I will say about Shamwow is that,…
