Landry Shamet has been passed around like a bong for most of his NBA career. The Philadelphia 76ers, Los Angeles Clippers, Brooklyn Nets, Phoenix Suns and, most recently, Washington Wizards all had him and in some way sent him packing. Lower-body and shoulder injuries are catalysts for the journeyman resume. Shamet’s various departures didn’t exactly incite picket lines outside arenas. Still, the entire league whiffed on him this past summer. Despite finishing last year on the Knicks, buried underneath the wrath of Tom Thibodeau, he wasn’t guaranteed a roster spot this season. New York brought him in on a training-camp…

If the Clippers need some convincing that Wagler is worth the No. 5 pick—and they might not; he has a chance to be special—a process of elimination might get them there. They probably don’t have the appetite for another small guard after adding Darius Garland at the trade deadline, and they might question the value of reaching for a center in this spot. So, maybe Wagler is something of a by-default choice here. Or, again, maybe he’s someone they just really like. It could easily be the latter, as his positional size (6’6″), lights-out shooting, penchant for passing and turnover…

There are many questions around Slot’s transfer dealings, although owners Fenway Sports Group’s CEO of football Michael Edwards and sporting director Richard Hughes must also take responsibility.Liverpool’s key pair of power brokers were showered with bouquets in the summer.
