The 23-year-old guard, a first-round pick in the 2018 NBA Draft, was a key contributor off the bench for Los Angeles. Before the NBAÂ suspended its season in March, Shamet averaged 27.5 minutes per game and shot 39.2% from three-point range.
He started to get hot before the league suspended operations, shooting 42.6% from beyond the arc in February, while averaging 11.3 points per contest.
