He is the general manager of theAtlanta Hawks of theNational Basketball Association (NBA). Fields played five seasons in the NBA for theNew York Knicks andToronto Raptors from 2010 through 2015.
Fields was born inLong Beach, California,[2][3] to Steve and Janice Fields.[4] Landry was one of three children and attended Ellwood P. Cubberley Elementary School and laterLos Alamitos High School inLos Alamitos, California.[4] Fields was a three-year letter-winner on the varsity basketball squad, which he captained during his junior and senior seasons.[5] Though he was heavily recruited byArizona coachLute Olson and byGonzaga University, Fields ultimately chose to play forTrent Johnson andStanford, joining twin brothersRobin andBrook Lopez to create one of the top recruiting classes in the nation.[6]
As a freshman atStanford in 2006–07, Fields appeared in 30 games all off the bench as he averaged 4.1 points and 2.0 rebounds per game. As a sophomore in 2007–08, he again had a very similar role and production to his freshman season as he averaged 4.1 points and 2.0 rebounds in 33 games off the bench.[5]
As a junior in 2008–09, Fields started 33 of 34 games he appeared in as he averaged 12.6 points and a team-best 6.6 rebounds per game.[5]
As a senior in 2009–10, Fields had a break-out season as he earned first-teamAll-Pac-10 honors after averaging a league-leading 22.0 points and 8.8 rebounds per game. He also earned USBWA All-District IX Team and first-team NABC Division I All-District 20 honors in addition to earning Pac-10 Scholar-Athlete of the Year accolades.[5]
Fields was selected with the 39th overall pick in the2010 NBA draft by theNew York Knicks.[7] In July 2010, he joined the Knicks for the2010 NBA Summer League where he averaged a team-high 15.6 points in addition to 4.8 rebounds and 1.6 steals in five games. On August 26, 2010, he signed his rookie scale contract with the Knicks.[citation needed] He went on to earn Rookie of the Month honors in the Eastern Conference for the months of November and December 2010.[8][9] On February 6, 2011, he scored a career high 25 points, in addition to 10 rebounds, in the 117–103 win over thePhiladelphia 76ers.[10] To cap off his strong rookie season, he was named to the NBA All-Rookie first team.[11]
Landry and teammateJeremy Lin were selected to play for TeamShaq in the 2012 NBA All-Star WeekendRising Stars Challenge.[12] Landry was also a member of the New York team that won theShooting Stars Competition.[13]
On June 26, 2012, the Knicks tendered a qualifying offer to make Landry a restricted free agent.[14]
On July 11, 2012, Fields received a three-year, $20 million offer sheet from theToronto Raptors.[15] The Knicks declined to match the offer, and Fields signed with the Raptors on July 15, 2012.[16]
After his impressive stint with the Knicks, the Raptors expected big things from Landry as he continued to develop. However, Fields struggled with Toronto, partially due to injuries as he played just 81 games over his first two seasons with the franchise. He had several surgeries repairing the ulnar nerve in his right arm, and with constant rehabilitation, he was forced to learn a new shooting form.[17]
Fields became an unrestricted free agent in July 2015. In September 2015, he underwent surgery for a hip labral tear and was subsequently ruled out for five months.[18] He ultimately sat out the entire 2015–16 season.
On September 16, 2016, Fields was named a college scout for theSan Antonio Spurs, effectively ending his playing career.[19]
