Timberwolves need Terrence Shannon Jr. to be himself not Nickeil Alexander-Walker

After Nickeil Alexander-Walker left in free agency, Terrence Shannon Jr. was expected to take on a significant amount of his minutes. Five games in, it's been a mixed bag for TSJ. He is averaging 18 minutes, 4.4 points, 3 rebounds, and 1.4 assists on 33.3/44.4/66.7 shooting splits.

Shannon was fantastic during the Minnesota Timberwolves' season opener, pouring in 10 points, five rebounds, and five assists while closing the game. This prompted me to write an extremely positive article on Shannon, and I still very much believe in him.

However, for Shannon to get his season back on track, he has to remember what makes him great in the first place, and that's his elite finishing.
