Report: Nets' Landry Shamet Traded to Suns Ahead of NBA Draft

The Nets have traded Landry Shamet to the Suns for Jevon Carter and the No. 29 pick in the 2021 NBA draft, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reports. 

Suns coach Monty Williams has been a significant supporter of Shamet, according to Wojnarowski. Williams coached the Wichita State product when he was an assistant with the 76ers. 

During the 2020-21 NBA season, Shamet averaged 9.3 points per game to go along with 1.8 rebounds and 1.6 assists. He shot 38.7 percent from the three-point arc.

In Thursday's draft, Brooklyn used the No. 29 pick on North Carolina forward/center Day'Ron Sharpe.

Carter averaged 4.5 points, 1.3 assists and 0.6 in his two seasons with the Suns.
