Each of Minnesota's two draftees bring a particular play style and skill set, and that can transfer onto the floor this season for the Timberwolves.
The Minnesota Timberwolves had a stellar season a year ago, making a 14-win the leap from the season prior and reaching the Western Conference Finals as the third seed.
That led them into the draft in late June, where the front office elected in picking up Kentucky's Rob Dillingham in the No. 8 slot and Illinois' Terrence Shannon Jr. with the 27th overall pick. Minnesota bit the bullet and traded an unprotected 2031 first-round pick and a top-one protected 2030 pick swap for Dillingham, while taking Shannon Jr. outright with their established pick at No. 27.
Through four Summer League contests, Shannon Jr. amassed 13.3 points on 56% shooting, nearly a steal and 1.3 blocks per game, illustrating his promise on each end of the floor. In five Summer League games for Dillingham, he offered up 13.6 points a night on 36% from the field, also averaging 7.6 assists and 1.0 steal per game despite giving up 3.4 turnovers on average.
