2024 Fantasy Outlook
After three seasons at Texas Tech, Shannon transferred to Illinois and became a star. In 2023-24, the 6-foot-6 guard averaged 23.0 points (48/36/80 shooting splits), 4.0 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.9 blocks, landing First-Team All-Big Ten and Third-Team All-American honors. Shannon also led the Illini to a Big Ten Tournament championship, earning the Most Outstanding Player award. However, the season was clouded by legal trouble. In December of 2023, Shannon was charged with two felonies and suspended indefinitely by Illinois. Ultimately, he finished his final collegiate season after being granted a restraining order and was found not guilty of the charges just a few weeks before the 2024 NBA Draft. The legal trouble and being one of the oldest prospects in the 2024 class led to Shannon falling on draft day. He was selected by Minnesota with the 27th overall pick and joins a loaded backcourt. Mike Conley and Anthony Edwards will start, while Donte DiVincenzo and Nickeil Alexander-Walker will be the primary backups. Minnesota also signed Joe Ingles in free agency and drafted Rob Dillingham 19 picks ahead of Shannon. Shannon's path to NBA minutes is too crowded to make him worthy of a roster spot in standard leagues, but his offensive upside should have fantasy managers' interest if he's ever given a 20-minute role.

Personal Bio/PreCareer Summary

From Chicago, IL, Shannon played for Lincoln Park in high school but didn't have any D1 offers, so he reclassified and transferred to IMG Academy where he thrived en route being a consensus four-star recruit. He originally committed to DePaul before switching to Texas Tech. He was named to the Big 12 All-Freshman team but didn't show drastic improvement in his final two seasons as a Red Raider before moving to Champaign. Shannon's final collegiate season was interrupted in December after being suspended indefinitely by Illinois. He was reinstated in January after the school's investigation ended with insufficient evidence and was allowed to finish the 2023-24 campaign. Shannon was named first-team All-Big Ten, third-team All-American and was the 2024 Big Ten Tournament's Most Outstanding Player, as he led Illinois to a championship win over Wisconsin. He averaged 23 points per game on 57/36/80 shooting splits for the season and dropped 34 on the Badgers. Shannon is at his best when he's going downhill in transition. When defenders give him space, he's more than capable of knocking down open looks off the dribble. At 6-foot-6, Shannon has the size and athleticism to guard multiple positions, and he has great defensive instincts, though he tends to take too many chances in the passing lanes. Shannon is a gifted offensive player, and that should translate to the NBA, but he may need to refine his game before becoming a prominent player. At 23 years old, he's older than most prospects in his class, but that doesn't mean he can't make strides over the next few years. Shannon is a couple of inches taller than guys like De'Aaron Fox and Vince Williams but may have just as much offensive upside as those players. However, Shannon isn't a natural point guard, so Kelly Oubre Jr. may be a more just comparison.

Returns from G League

November 23, 2024
The Timberwolves recalled Shannon from the G League Iowa Wolves on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Shannon will rejoin the parent club after playing two games in the G League. While he'll suit up for Sunday's game in Boston, Shannon isn't likely to be included in the rotation.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Participates in workout Monday
FFree Agent
June 19, 2024
Shannon was among several prospects who participated in a workout for the Bulls on Monday, according to Darnell Mayberry of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
The Bulls have the 11th pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, but there's uncertainty about what the organization will do with that pick. The Bulls might be forced to take the best player available based on how the earlier selections shake out. Now that his off-court issues are behind him, it wouldn't be shocking if Shannon ends up being a first-round pick, although selecting him just outside of the top 10 might be a bit of a stretch. Shannon averaged 23.0 points, 4.0 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game in 2023-24 for Illinois.
