3. Landry Shamet is available as a low-cost signing for Philly
Three-point shooting was not one of the 76ers’ featured motifs in their offense last season. The team did well rebounding from Buddy Hield’s loss with the signing of Eric Gordon and of course, Paul George, but doubling down on perimeter firepower won’t hurt.
Still unsigned in free agency, Landry Shamet remains available as a potentially low-cost option for Philadelphia at shooting guard. The 27-year-old had a down year shooting the basketball last season, but he’s a career 38.4 percent three-point shooter on great volume. That he played within a discombobulated Wizards offense should also merit him the benefit of the doubt.
Shamet won’t be supplanting anyone on the team as currently constructed, but he’s a low-risk option the 76ers can go to if they need a shooting lift. He’s particularly great at moving without the ball and curling off screens — traits that Nick Nurse would be able to integrate well and put to good use.
