Landry = The Real Deal

[ShockerMas]

Simmons is back and in the starting lineup for the Sixers. Landry coming off the bench tonight for Sixers @ Bucks 8:30 on ESPN

Landry with a steal and an air ball in the first, followed by a running, leaning banked three to beat the shot clock

[WstateU]

Followed by an ‘atomic bomb’ turnover... he’ll quickly learn.

[Stickboy46]

I don't think he went back in the game after that turnover

Wish he banked in that three against Kentucky.

[Aargh]

Unfortunately, tthat was the only shot he made in the game. Finished 1/4, 0/2 inside the arc.

Good shout out to Landry. Sorry if I didn't link right, I'm old and pre-internet.

13 points tonight in 25 minutes on 4-8 shooting, 2-5 from 3.

That's good that he is scoring now, he was losing minutes in the 2 games before that.

In the limited time I’ve viewed the 6ers, it appears to me that Brett Brown plays lots of players for depth reasons, etc. He seems to give more minutes off of the bench to the “hot hand”. Landry wasn’t scoring and therefore fewer minutes. He hits some shots and minutes go up. It varies each game.

Landry plays against the Raptors tonight, Fred is questionable for the game. 6:30 on NBATV (Cox 259), obviously you would have to set your DVRs for this one.

[Stickboy46]

Landry off to a good start tonight. 4/5 , 3/4 from 3 with 11 points in the first half.

Watching him play alongside Simmons and Embiid makes me sad that we lost out on the chance to see him play next to Baker and Van Vleet

[C0|dB|00ded]

You want him taking Cotton's spot? No thanks. He'd have to replace Baker - more blasphemy.

C0|dB|00ded Cotton was gone by Shamet's freshman year.

[C0|dB|00ded]

Omg... can't believe I forgot that.

I think about that way too much, man.

[FadedCrown]

I think about that way too much, man.

Eh, looking back on it, it kinda looks like redshirting his Freshman year really helped him in the long run. Hell, even after a redshirt season he still wasn't polished until conference play (albeit against lowly MVC opponents). Even if Shamet saw significant playing time with VanVleet/Baker, he would have just looked like a complementary piece.

[Stickboy46]

Disagree .. Redshirting him was a waste .. considering he left with 2 year of eligibility.

[FadedCrown]

Stickboy46 Well it is not like we had the option to redshirt him or not. If he is out for the year with an injury and you can redshirt him you might as well.

[Stickboy46]

I believe he would have been able to be back in March of that year. How effective he would have been is a different story.
