Former Illinois star Terrence Shannon joining NBA All-Star Anthony Edwards and the Minnesota Timberwolves
Terrence Shannon was the primary scoring option the past two seasons for the Illinois Fighting Illini.
The T-Wolves already have their superstar in guard Anthony Edwards, the No. 1 pick in 2020. So Shannon just wants to learn much as possible. He was drafted No. 27, becoming the Illini's first player picked in the first round since Meyers Leonard in 2012. Edwards had the young Timberwolves two victories from making the NBA Finals. They lost to the Dallas Mavericks 4-2 in the Western Conference finals. With Edwards and Karl-Anthony Towns as the offensive leaders, the Wolves will look for defense and secondary scoring from Shannon in the beginning.
