One of the biggest questions surrounding next season for the Minnesota Timberwolves revolves around Terrence Shannon Jr. and what kind of role he'll be playing. But no matter what that looks like specifically, the Wolves have made it abundantly clear that he's going to be a major part of their process in the future.
Shannon was considered a bit of a gamble as recently as a year ago. Drafted with the 27th pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, Terrence was one of the oldest players in his draft class out of the University of Illinois. That gave some fans pause, given the (mostly overblown) fear of drafting older college players.
