NBA reporter Ary recently talked about the potential signing situation of the New York Knicks in the next period of time. Ary said: Since a second round pick special case of the team is likely to be assigned to James Nnaji, who had just returned to free, the Knicks can still add a veteran's basic salary in this case, and Landry Shamet is still the player they are very interested in.
Ary also said: Kevin McCullar Jr., an outside player who was expected to play for the team on a two-way contract last season, will sign another two-way contract with the Knicks. But the only way this contract becomes a standard contract is to convert him into a formal contract later in the season. The Knicks attach great importance to Kevin McCaller, and the team's coaching staff and some insiders have highly praised him. According to some people close to McCaller, the team is still committed to his long-term development and believes that there is still a lot of potential to tap. Ary also made it clear that this information was reconfirmed by him after contacting the relevant person by phone and had a high credibility.
In the NBA regular season last season, Shamet made a total of 50 appearances in 82 games, averaging 15.2 minutes per game, averaging 5.7 points, 1.2 rebounds, 0.5 assists and 0.5 steals, 0.4 turnovers and 1 foul, with a shooting percentage of 46.1%, a three-point shooting percentage of 39.7%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 66.7%. During the playoffs, Shamet made a total of 11 appearances, averaging 7.5 minutes, averaging 2.4 points, 0.4 rebounds, 0.7 assists and 0.1 steals, 0.4 turnovers and 0.5 fouls, shooting percentage of 45%, three-point shooting percentage of 46.7%, and free throw shooting percentage of 25%.
In the NBA regular season last season, McCaller played 4 games in total, with only 7.3 minutes per game, and only 1.5 points, 2 rebounds, 0.5 assists, 0.2 steals, and 1.5 fouls, with a shooting percentage of 28.6%, 0% of three-point shooting percentage and 100% of free throw shooting percentage. In the NBA Development League last season, McCarler played 13 times for the Knicks' subordinate team Westchester Knicks, averaging 27.8 minutes per game, averaging 11.6 points, 4.9 rebounds, 4.1 assists, 1.6 steals, 0.4 blocks, and 2.2 turnovers and 2.4 fouls. His shooting percentage was 39.3%, a three-point shooting percentage of 21.6%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 78.8%.
Shamet's performance last season was actually quite good. He was able to play his role and show his shooting ability. In contrast, McCaller's performance in the NBA Development League is also very average. His personal ability is not ideal. He cannot show his versatility on the offensive end. On the contrary, his shortcomings in the outside shooting ability have been further magnified. Of course, McCaller is just a player with a two-way contract after all, so it is a normal choice to continue to stay.
