Shannon's path ran from Chicago through Texas Tech to Illinois, where he became a star and had his jersey honored, before reaching the NBA at 24. Raised by his mother, Treanette, with a large extended family, he built a game around athleticism and downhill scoring.
His identity is explosive, straight-line athleticism — a strong, quick wing who attacks the rim and finishes above it. As a young Timberwolf behind Edwards and McDaniels, his role is bench scoring and energy, with his jumper and defense the developmental frontiers that would expand his minutes.
An explosive, downhill-scoring wing — athletic bench punch with developing perimeter skills.
