Minnesota Timberwolves Select Terrence Shannon Jr. 27th Overall in NBA Draft
Terrence Shannon Jr., recently acquitted of rape charges, was drafted 27th overall by the Minnesota Timberwolves in the 2024 NBA Draft. Shannon, a versatile guard from Illinois, had his draft stock affected by the allegations but was reinstated to his team after a federal judge ruled his civil rights were violated. Timberwolves president Tim Connelly praised Shannon's character and resilience, citing commendations from his former coaches. Shannon led Illinois to significant success in the NCAA Tournament and was highly regarded for his scoring and defensive abilities. LeBron James and Patrick Mahomes publicly supported Shannon following his acquittal, demanding loud apologies for the accusations. Despite a hamstring injury limiting his pre-draft activities, Shannon's selection marks a significant milestone in his career.
