Sports Illustrated ranks the top 60 players for the 2021 NBA draft. Shannon comes in at No. 38.
38. Terrence Shannon Jr., G/F, Texas Tech
Height: 6' 6" | Weight: 210 | Age: 20 | Sophomore
Frankly, there were many times Shannon, not Jahmi’us Ramsey looked like Texas Tech’s best prospect last season, and he returns to college with a chance to work his way into the first round. An athletic, slashing wing who plays hard on both ends and is unafraid to do the dirty work, he profiles as the type of glue guy with upside a team should be eager to take a chance on. Shannon’s jumper isn’t where it needs to be yet, but his mechanics look a bit better at a glance, and he’s effective inside the arc and a good free throw shooter. He’s also a sneaky good passer who rarely gets a chance to make plays on the ball, with Chris Beard giving those duties to Mac McClung and Kyler Edwards. Shannon has a good chance at a Top-40 selection with continued growth, and the things he does well won’t fully manifest in his counting stats.
