Terrence Shannon Jr. is quickly making the Timberwolves look genius
Guangzhou Loong-Lions v Minnesota Timberwolves | David Berding/GettyImagesUndoubtedly, one of the biggest questions heading into the Minnesota Timberwolves' season was whether Terrence Shannon Jr. (and Jaylen Clark) would be enough to fill the void left behind by Nickeil Alexander-Walker. One game in, and Shannon looks even better than anticipated. While overacting to one game is foolish, I don't think it's an overreaction to say that Shannon is already proving to be an ideal replacement for NAW.
In 25 minutes of play, Shannon recorded 10 points, five rebounds, five assists, and a steal. The Wolves edged out the Portland Trail Blazers 118-114, and Shannon played a key role in this win.
