## Key points

- Shamet is earning starts by adapting without changing his game.
- He was averaging 9.3 points on 43 per cent shooting.
- Brown particularly values his pick-and-roll defence.

## Summary

Landry Shamet’s steady approach to changing roles has made him a reliable starting option for the New York Knicks when wing players are unavailable. Coach Mike Brown says Shamet’s defence, pace and ability to contribute on both ends suit a team that does not need anyone to do anything extraordinary.

Shamet started his third consecutive game against Milwaukee after Josh Hart, whose ankle had improved, fell ill. Before that game, Shamet was averaging 9.3 points, shooting 43 per cent overall and 42 per cent from three-point range. He had also played more fourth-quarter minutes than Mikal Bridges, while Brown identified him as the Knicks’ strongest front-end pick-and-roll defender this season.
