Shaman's a gunner, and a good one.
A lot like Lou W or Reddick.

I don't think he has ballhandling or passing chops.

[kiidcarter8]

Well, you remain malinformed.

[facilitatorn]

I recall he showed some lead guard chops at times in college. In the league he’s been deployed as a shooting wing by both Philly and the Clips.

If he has the ability to play NBA pg, we’ll probably see it this year based on his team’s roster.

[kiidcarter8]

Yep

Good passer

Rookie-year projection

Shamet could earn minutes with the second unit for his backcourt versatility and efficient brand of offense. His ability to pass and shoot should help him work off any guard. It could take a year for him to adjust to a deeper arc, though, given the line-drive arch on his shot. And he could struggle to finish at the rim. Throw in the defensive questions, and Shamet will likely go stretches in which he's forced to watch from the bench.

Projected role

He's 21 years old, and he's suffered multiple foot injuries. And without the jets to penetrate or fly in transition, Shamet projects as more of a backup game-managing type of guard. He'll press the right buttons at the point but also slide off the ball and threaten the defense as a spot-up shooter off the bench

[kiidcarter8]

Landry Shamet and Conner Frankamp, the guards who replaced Ron and Fred, have developed into one of the best duos WSU has had, especially over the past month.

Shamet started the season as WSU’s shooting guard and Frankamp played the point. Then junior Daishon Smith replaced Frankamp. Then freshman Austin Reaves started getting more minutes.

Finally, though, it was Shamet’s move to the point and Frankamp’s move to play off the ball that really sparked this team.

Great shooter - you are right about that.

Hey there, I had to switch browsers because in the one I use regularly I got this message:

"Sorry carlos123, you are banned from using this forum!
This ban is not set to expire."

Are you serious or is it some kind of error?

Czarlos,
If you are using the same computer, then you're IP address isn't banned.
So just try deleting the cookies for Elba in your old browser and seeing if that works.
Sometimes they try to block out bots and genuine posters get caught in the crossfire.

Thank you BoZ, but it didn't work.

I deleted all the cookies in the old browser, which is a pain because it also deletes the useful ones.
Then I was able to see the forum, but the moment I tried to log in I was kicked out with the same message.
I have no idea if the administrator reads the posts in the forum or how to let him know if he doesn't.

[carlos123]

After a second cleanup, it's working now. Hope it lasts.
Thanks again BoZ.

Thankfully it's Elba and not Ankara.

Gonna be tough rooting against E.K.

Josh is the moderator hereabouts.
If you click Members up at the Top, then click the Posts column, his name will come up first.  Click on his name and you can PM him.

I also have an email address for him (or maybe it's for site admin liquidsilver).
I can find that if you want.

For some browsers, it's relatively easy to scroll through your cookies and delete just the ones from a specific site.  I'm on Chrome and it allows you to do that.
I think Firefox does as well.

We'll see on Shamet.
I saw an article saying LouW would be the backup PG.
Agree that Shamet would be a better option if capable.
They can probably patch together a backup PG between those two and using PG13 as point-forward during the regular season.

But last year was Pa Bev's first healthy year in forever.  If he misses time, then you need a spot-starting PG.

I saw Shamet a good deal on PHI and his role there was to shoot.  Surprised me how effective he was.  If he's got adequate combo-guard skills, that's a bonus for LAC.  It's not the role he had last year, when Doc had him running Reddick sets off screens.   Could be a good op for Shamet to display his versatility.  Just hope it doesn't affect his (elite last year) shooting.  I'd still feel better if they picked up Jer Lin or some other unaffiliated vet PG.

Btw, Clips have a surplus of SG's. 
PG13.  Shamet.  Lou W.  Jerome Robinson (#19 pick two years ago).  McGruder (fine defender/energy guy).  PG13 can play SF, and hopefully Shamet some PG.

7pts on 2-7 & 1-3 from 3, 5 dimes & a steal for young Frank. Tunisia is no Turkey.

I think Nando, who was playing in front of him, might have gotten hurt.

[bodiddley]

There were a few years where many teams gambled and cheaped out on backup
PG's.  Sometimes an injury to a starting PG meant a min salary guy had to start.

But it seems there's a new trend of some teams eschewing backup PG's altogether.

ATL has Trae Young and no other PG.  Evan Turner the closest approximation. 

GS has Scurry and ____?  I guess it's tangelo when Scurry sits (after Klay returns).  But Kerr plans to use Scurry, Tangelo and Klay together, mostly because they don't have a starting quality SF.  Thinnest GS team in a long while.

MIA has Dragic, who breaks down often, and an undrafted GLeague combo guard named Kendrick Nunn.   


As for the cheap route:
BOS has two 2nd round rooks as their backup PG's.  But likely combo guard Smart is the backup PG.  Thinnest Celt team in quite a while.

CHA a 2nd year 2nd rounder (Devonte Graham) as backup to Rozier, a first time starter.

PHX has three late PG draft picks behind Rubio (two early 2nd rounders)


That's 5 or 6 teams barely prioritizing backup PG at all.
I don't understand the thinking.  Seems the idea is that a wing can handle much of the distributing and ballhandling -- a Jimmy Butler, Paul George, etc.


A few teams run 3 deep at PG:
IND, DAL, KNIX, NOPe, TOR, CHI (sorta), LAL. OKC (until they trade CP3 or Shrodeinger's Cat)
