Jaden McDaniels has been used mostly as a defensive stalwart in his young career, and to great success.
When just looking at his NBA role, it’s shocking that McDaniels was at one point the No. 1 high school prospect garnering comparisons to Kevin Durant (shout out to any tall, skinny players who can dribble and have excellent body control). He had a tumultuous season at Washington that sent his draft stock plummeting. Now that McDaniels has established himself as one of the league’s preeminent defenders, the young Minnesota Timberwolves’ wing is showing what he can do offensively.
