The forward delivered two impressive seasons before declaring for the 2024 NBA Draft and led Illinois to the Elite-Eight of the 2024 March Madness.<\/p><p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Terrence Shannon Jr. averaged <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sports-reference.com\/cbb\/players\/terrence-shannonjr-1.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>23.0 points<\/a>, 4.0 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game while shooting 47.5% from the field in his senior year.

The franchise is suffering from injuries to Julius Randle and Donte DiVincenzo which opens a clear window for Shannon Jr. to establish himself in the Timberwolves rotation. <\/p>\n<div
