Second-Round Candidate: Landry Shamet

ID CARD: 6-foot-5¼ point guard, Wichita State, sophomore, 21 years old

DRAFT RANGE: Ranked 49th by ESPN.com; 50th by SI.com; 11th among guards by NBA.com

SCOUTS LOVE: His 3-point shot is Shamet’s carrying tool. His agent calls him the best shooter in the draft and Shamet exudes boundless confidence in his shooting ability. As the rare top-100 recruit to Wichita State, Shamet was on track to contribute behind the Fred Van Vleet-Ron Baker backcourt as a freshman but a foot injury limited him to two games and induced a redshirt year.
