The first Suns in the West faced the third-to-last Kings of the West, originally thought it was a crushing game, in fact, the two teams played very anxiously, the Suns Booker, Ayton and McGee committed 6 consecutive games, relying on Shamet's key three points in overtime, the Suns laughed to the end, the biggest contributor to this game was Shamet, the whole game played 30 minutes and 30 seconds, got 21 points, three-pointers 9 shots 5, the Suns are also a wave of five consecutive wins to continue to lead the rankings, the record ahead of the second Grizzlies reached 9 wins, this strength is terrifying.
The Suns have formed a complete system, although there are constantly different players absent from the game, but they can still play cohesion, the team left all the rotating players who played in the Finals last season, which is the biggest reason why they have good chemistry, only one player was introduced by the team through trade in the offseason, he is Shamet, the Suns exchanged Carter + the first round of draft pick 29 in exchange for Shamet, in the case that Shamet has not yet played for the Suns, He offered a large contract of 4 years and 43 million yuan, which is enough to prove that the sun loves him.
Shamet is the first round of the 2018 No. 26 show, 1 meter 93 tall, the body is relatively thin, as a guard has a certain dribbling ability, can hold the ball to break through, of course, his biggest feature is shooting, his shot speed is very fast, especially good at catching the ball after not adjusting the quick shot, after being selected by the 76ers in the 2018-19 season, he played in 54 games, averaging 8.3 points per game, three-point shooting rate of 40.4%, Averaging 1.8 shots per game, it was a great top scorer performance, but as the 76ers were eager to compete for the title and the Clippers were busy rebuilding, Shamet was traded to the Clippers after only half a season with the 76ers.
Coming to the Clippers, Shamet got better performance opportunities, became the team's starting point guard, averaging 10.9 points per game, the most important thing is that his scoring efficiency has not decreased as the playing time increases, the three-point shooting rate has reached 45%, the average shooting rate per game has reached 2.7, in the 2019-20 season, the Clippers suddenly got Leonard and George to complete the reconstruction in an instant, Shamet averaged 9.3 points per game around the super giant is also a successful completion of the task, 37.5% of the three-point shooting rate has declined, But also good enough.
In the 2020 offseason, the Clippers have a chance to get kennard, who is also a shooter, but the taller Kennard, Shamet has become a chip in the three-way trade was sent to the Nets, in the Nets he still averaged 9.3 points per game, showing his stability, three-point shooting rate of 38.7%, but Shamet's problem is also prominent, he is limited by the body in the playoffs is easy to be targeted by opponents, last season in the Clippers was traded, it is related to his poor playoff performance, this season's playoffs he once again performed sluggishly, It also led to being sent to the Suns in the offseason.
Coming to the Suns, Shamet was unstable in front of the All-Star, averaging 7.4 points per game, shooting 35.3% from three points, but after the All-Star he played better and better, averaging 10 points per game, and the three-point shooting rate reached 42.1%, which shows that his ability to adjust is still very strong, Shamet has not finished playing in this 4-year rookie contract, has changed 4 teams, if it is a water dispenser player, he can become the main rotation to each team, and the cooperation is also superstar (Embiid, Leonard, George, Harden, Durant, Irving, Paul, Booker) do seem to be the jigsaw puzzle players that championship teams need.
The 4-year, 43 million contract renewal contract looks a bit premium, in fact, the next 2 years of his contract are not guaranteed, the fourth year is still the team option, Shamet is only 25 years old, play well the sun can stay, play badly for 2 years is not long, want to trade can continue to be used as a chip, it is definitely not a loss.
