After losing Nickeil Alexander-Walker to the Atlanta Hawks in free agency, second-year wing Terrence Shannon Jr. is poised for a bigger role. By not finding a clear replacement for Alexander-Walker, the Minnesota Timberwolves' belief in Shannon is clear. Shannon played in just 32 games, averaging just 10.6 minutes, 4.3 points, 1.5 rebounds, and an assist.
However, Shannon showed flashes of his upside, most notably scoring 35 points in 37 minutes during the last three games of the Western Conference finals. In Game 3 of the WCF, Shannon scored 15 points in 13 minutes during a Wolves win.
