Wichita State’s potential was unlocked last season when coach Gregg Marshall shifted Landry Shamet to the point guard position midway through the season.
The rest is history: Shamet averaged 11.4 points, shot 44 percent on three-pointers, and finished with 117 assists compared to 39 turnovers in his redshirt freshman season. He delivered his best game on the biggest stage, scoring a team-high 20 points and not committing a turnover in 34 minutes against Kentucky in the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
Even with while currently on the mend, recovering from offseason surgery to repair a stress fracture in his foot, Shamet has received praise entering the college basketball season with some outlets saying he could be an All-American.
