Very well could be more ready to contribute than Dillingham, like the value a lot at #27.

I love this pick. Wolves bench got way stronger and we got badly needed offense and the wolves summer league team will be lit this year.

The guy knows how to play. He fills some needs for this team.

I like that we didn’t feel the need to go young. We have so many young guys already. I don’t know much about Shannon but will be curious to watch summer league this year.

Plays like Kelly Oubre. Love it!

He's two months older than Jaden McDaniels

Shawn Marion a little bit.

Finisher.

This man won’t need to make but the most basic passes.

Love the pick. Scoring wing (irl scoring, not theoretical) with plus defense, high motor and a chip on his shoulder. I have a weird feeling this team might have just drafted it's enforcer. He plays angry and I like it.

I like this comparison a lot.

call me delusional or a homer or whatever but I think he is like a taller poor man’s Lillard . Obviously he is not a pg and his passing needs a lot of work but Lillard did just average like 3 assists at Weber State. TSJ plays like him to me , he even looks like him.

I watched every college game Terrence Shannon played over the past two seasons. I was desperately hoping the Bulls would find a way to add him to their core, but that was not meant to be. There were obviously questions surrounding him as a player (his age, the allegations, etc.), but I think that adding TSJ to a playoff team with a pick in this range is super productive. He has his weaknesses, but there are so many aspects of his game that just pop when it comes to NBA skills.

He's a very good defender, has amazing speed in the open court, finishes well at the rim, has an UNCANNY ability to draw fouls at the rim and is still developing as a shooter, even if his release point is a bit low. He hasn't shown much of a mid-range game, and his ballhandling is maybe not an overly concerning weakness, but not a strength either. He is a guy that is going to make the most of what his situation is and his potential. He played probably the best basketball he has of his life with some serious things hanging over his head and hearing it from the crowd. He seemed to play even better.

He's a tough kid. I really wish the Bulls would have found a way to get him. Hope he kicks butt for you guys in whatever role he gets. Great pick.

Thanks for the insight.
Bench scoring from the perimeter has been a huge weakness for us, hopefully he can fill that role, and he is going to need to be able to play good defense to stay on the floor with our coach, so if he can bring that it will be a huge bonus.

The inability to translate 3 point shooting to the next level is maybe the thing that busts more prospects than anything else.

Shannon is going to have to make some adjustments to his form which might cause problems in the short term, but hopefully his outside shooting translates well to the next level.

Plus defender who can also score. I’m happy. Not expecting a ton but think can contribute early.

My comps have been wild this class.

Lefty, downhill scorer.....Shabazz?!

He is currently the sixth-oldest player on the roster

If Anderson isn't back, it will be interesting to see who steps up to grab the available minutes out of the Shannon, Minott, and Miller group.
