Shamet selected in first round to Sixers

Former Shocker point guard Landry Shamet was selected in the first round of the NBA Draft as the 26th overall pick to the Philadelphia 76ers.

In the weeks leading up to the draft, Shamet had an opportunity to showcase his notable shooting range to NBA teams.

In mid-May, he traveled to Chicago to participate in the NBA Draft Combine. Afterwards, he spent a month and a half fine-tuning his skills at Sports Academy HQ in Thousand Oaks, California.

In the week and a half leading up to the draft, Shamet traveled to San Francisco, Los Angeles — to work out for the Lakers — Phoenix, Atlanta, Orlando, and Indianapolis.
