Landry Shamet

Nine months before the NBA Finals, Landry Shamet was facing the possibility of having no team at all. Now he is one of the most reliable shooters in the postseason, burying threes at a 47.5 percent clip across 19 playoff games and giving the Knicks a weapon opposing defenses have no answer for. In a back-and-forth battle at Frost Bank Center, Shamet catches, plants, and launches with the confidence of someone who has been doing this all spring. He finished with 13 points on 3-of-7 from deep, his sixth game with at least three threes over the past seven outings, as New York escaped San Antonio 105-104 to take a 2-0 series lead.
