The Philadelphia 76ers have a rich history in the NBA Draft, with notable selections building the franchise. One significant pick was Landry Shamet, drafted 26th overall in 2018. The Sixers aimed to bolster their roster alongside stars Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons, and Shamet quickly made a mark as a rookie with his impressive shooting, hitting 40.4% from three-point range.

Shamet's tenure with the Sixers was brief, as he was traded to the Los Angeles Clippers during his rookie season in a deal involving Tobias Harris. Since then, he has played for several teams, including the Brooklyn Nets and Phoenix Suns, and is currently with the New York Knicks. Over his seven-year career, Shamet has averaged 8.3 points and 1.7 rebounds, with a three-point shooting percentage of 38.5%. His journey reflects the volatility of player careers in the NBA, especially for those starting as role players on talented teams.
