New York Knicks Make Strategic Moves in G League Draft: Landry Shamet and Matt Ryan Expected to Be Top Picks

The New York Knicks are making waves in the G League draft, and fans have a reason to pay attention. The Knicks’ affiliate, the Westchester Knicks, now holds the top two picks in the draft after a trade with the Cleveland Charge. NBA insiders are reporting that the Knicks are expected to select Landry Shamet and Matt Ryan with those picks.

Shamet, who was waived by the Knicks last weekend due to a shoulder injury, is on the path to recovery, and the team is reportedly interested in signing him later in the season. On the other hand, Ryan, a free agent who played for the Pelicans last season, is also on the Knicks’ radar for a potential signing.

The Knicks are strategizing to potentially sign both Shamet and Ryan to the main roster later in the season. However, they must navigate salary cap restrictions to make it happen. The G League draft is set to take place on Saturday, Oct. 26, and Knicks fans can follow along on the G League’s Twitter account to see who the team selects with the top two picks. Stay tuned for more updates on this intriguing development in the world of basketball.
