Rebilas-Imagn ImagesOnce Nickeil Alexander-Walker signed with the Hawks this offseason, many pointed to Terrence Shannon Jr. as the guy who could take most of his minutes from the Timberwolves' roster. Fewer people mentioned Jaylen Clark despite his being able to replicate Alexander-Walker’s defensive abilities.
Both Shannon Jr. and Clark should be in the Wolves' rotation come October 22 when the Timberwolves take on the Trail Blazers in the regular season opener.
