Makes season debut Saturday Shannon registered no counting stats across three minutes during Saturday's 113-103 loss to the Spurs.

Impact Shannon left the bench for the first time in his career as the Timberwolves waved the white flag against the Spurs.

However, this feeling is unlikely to last too long, given he will struggle to play meaningful minutes on most nights.

2024 NBA Draft grades: Lakers, Celtics, Timberwolves among Round 1 winners

Drafted by Minnesota at No. 27 Shannon was selected by the Timberwolves with the 27th overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft.

Impact As a five-year college player, Shannon comes into the league at nearly 24 years old. However, he carries with him notable accolades from last season, including first-team All-Big Ten and third-team All-American. The 6-foot-6 wing is a strong defender and a crafty scorer who can fill it up in a variety of ways, though he especially thrives in transition. As a rookie, Shannon will fight for reserve minutes with players like Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Kyle Anderson and fellow rookie Rob Dillingham.
