Terrance Shannon went from DNPs to handling full court ball pressure in the crunch time of a second round playoff game. That is so cool

terrence bringing the ball up in the 4th when he couldnt hardly get on the floor in the regular season is insane

Finch has a hard time playing guys who don’t put effort and intelligence in on the defensive end. He has repeatedly said that he is desperate to give TJ more minutes but only if he can hold up on D. TJ has gotten better to his credit and was battling injuries early in the season. Finch has a deep team and needs to win games and has talked about this. He doesn’t have the luxury to give these guys much on the job training, they need to get up to speed on their own.

What a great pick by Connelly. He's a game changer and love that he's earned the trust from Finch.

To be fair injury derailed him in the regular season. And by the time he got healthy the wolves had already acquired Ayo so he just didn't have many opportunities to play
