Landry Shamet shot 44.2% from 3 for Wichita State last year playing against the 50th most difficult schedule.
Svi shot 44.4% from 3 for Kansas last year playing the 2nd most difficult schedule.
Philly has given Shamet 21.5 minutes a game.
Shamet is shooting 39.6% from three this season.
It's not rocket science Luke... good coaching doesn't mean waiting until someone's injured to play the rookie.

The rookie has to earn playing time. So far he hasn’t. _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023. |

We don't know what their scrimmages have looked like.
Lance has shot well this year... but he's a career 30% shooter from three.
Add that to his random mental errors and selfish play... and I don't know what we are trying to do with him.
Seems political to me... but we won't know unless we see their practice. |

Yes but the coaches aren't infallible.
I'm not saying for sure that they are making the wrong call... but we won't know unless they were open to the public.
Kuzma had a good year... now he's shooting 30% from three.
Now imagine if Kuzma shot that way for eight years straight.
This is what Lance is statistically. |

Why is this guy playing important minutes? He plays no defense and he can’t even do the one thing he was hired to do |

He's the #48 pick in the draft. Credit to him for playing so well in Sunner League that he raised expectations so much.
The NBA game may be too big for him, but he has a little more time. _________________ Under New Management |

Maybe we should update his nickname to the "Pre-Machine". Reminds me a lot of an early career Sasha. Great shooter who can't hit a shot to save his life in a real game. |

I cringe everytime he is open for a 3. Jeez. And let's not even mention his free throw shooting.
Definitely not a shooter. |

He's a practice court shooter. |

Just awful. He's making Anthony Brown look like a player. |

You cannot be game ready with no pt in crunch time. If you do not insert your players to make mistakes, there’s no real growth. Some of you are truly lost. _________________ DEAR BASKETBALL |

Andre Ingram better than this non-shooter.
That dude had zero playing time with the Lakers and got inserted into the lineup and SHOT the ball well. |
