LAS VEGAS – The Timberwolves drafted two players in the first round of last month's NBA draft who made their names on their ability to get buckets.
In the team's first summer league contest, an 81-74 victory over the Pelicans on Friday, one player struggled with his shot while the other was the best player on the floor.
Terrence Shannon Jr., who led Illinois to the Elite Eight as one of the best players in college basketball last season, looked NBA ready in his debut. Shannon had 25 points, shot 9-for-14 while his speed and physicality stood out Friday at both ends of the floor.
