Landry Fields is proof that a lot can happen in a short time. In just under a decade, he has worked his way from being a player to a decision-maker.
Fields began his NBA playing career in 2010 after being drafted as the 39th overall pick out of Stanford. Fields spent five years playing with the Knicks and Raptors until a nerve issue affecting his shooting elbow cut his playing career short in 2016.
Since his playing career ended, Fields has climbed the NBA ranks working with the Spurs, where he served as a college scout and the general manager of the G League’s Austin Spurs, and now the Hawks.
