Minnesota Timberwolves guard Terrence Shannon Jr. was recently named an overlooked NBA rookie who could exceed expectations.
Controversy flooded the NBA Draft process for Illinois Fighting Illini guard Terrence Shannon Jr., but he's ready to hit the ground running with the Minnesota Timberwolves.
"Rob Dillingham was the big name for the Minnesota Timberwolves coming out of the draft after they moved up to get him at No. 8. But their No. 27 pick could also wind up playing a key role off the bench," Wasserman wrote. "Older than Anthony Edwards and Jaden McDaniels, Terrence Shannon Jr. made it look relatively easy during summer league ," Wasserman stated. "His athletic ability looked more potent than anyone else's and created offensive advantages and defensive events."
