The Westchester Knicks selected Matt Ryan and Landry Shamet with the No. 1 and No. 2 overall picks in the 2024 NBA G League Draft on Saturday afternoon.
The Knicks will probably draft Landry Shamet and Matt Ryan early on in today s NBA G League Draft at 1 p.m.
Shamet seemed on track to make the roster but a dislocated shoulder changed everything.
This is a brutal turn of events for Shamet, who appeared on track to earn a standard roster spot before he dislocated his shoulder during Tuesday's exhibition against the Hornets. According to Charania, the Knicks will go into the regular season with 12 players on standard contracts and hope to sign Shamet once he's healthy. Shamet's exit leaves New York's bench extremely thin, and there may now be room for rookie guard Tyler Kolek in the rotation.
The Knicks are waiving guard Landry Shamet, forward T.J. Warren, and forward Chuma Okeke, the team announced Saturday.
