Prevailing consensus suggests the New York Knicks will make a trade to free up the space beneath the second apron required to sign two more veterans. Yet, there remains a possibility they do nothing, and have only one veteran’s minimum slot to fill.
And if that’s the case, it should go to Landry Shamet.
The 28-year-old is ostensibly one of three players vying for what is, at this moment, the final veteran spot. He joins Malcolm Brogdon, and Garrison Mathews.
Forced to choose one from this trio, many will gravitate toward Brogdon. He is the most recognizable name, and the most natural secondary ball-handler among the remaining options.
