Make the most of the opportunity, Hawk. Will always be cheering for you.
Terrence Shannon Jr. isn’t at the top of the Wolves’ rotation yet — but he’s on his way
Terrence Shannon Jr.'s patience and perspective will set him free in Minnesota. "You just got to buy into your role," he said.

might be behind pay wall but great article about TSJ
and +/- a plus 16 to lead the team!
Welcome to the NBA, rook.
" He was all set for his NBA preseason debut. He initially operated in a second unit with a pretty young and fun group . . . The role for Jakucionis: play his pure point guard game and find the cutters. He did just that without a doubt. He started his stint by jumping the passing lane for a steal and run-out, followed by a pass to the trailing Keshad Johnson on the break. Shortly after, he drove downhill one-on-one, drew a couple extra defenders, and found the cutting Jaquez down the slot for a huge dunk over Wembanyama. Moral of the story: the rookie looked comfortable. His defense was even more surprising, as he had a bunch of good reps sliding his feet and getting stops. Very good initial showing for Jakucionis.

Left the game with a bruised hip. Didn’t see any after game reports on how serious.

Love seeing Will do well, but man that Knicks defense would look bad in a summer pick up game.
he flipped a switch last year when he started cutting and attacking the hoop vs forcing up 3s, great to see him build on thet
He’s one of a kind. Rail thin, not particularly explosive, but very skilled at creating shots for himself off the dribble. My natural reaction is to say a body like his won’t play in the NBA because I can’t come up with anyone similar to him that’s made it work with his skill level. Lamelo Ball has similar size/athleticism and has made it work but he’s far more skilled as a PG.
Wizards must see something though bc he’s playing more than Cam Whitmore who I was high on his rookie year in Houston but fell quickly out of favor with them
Reggie Miller...?
Also Tayshaun Prince.
