The season of opportunity and growth continues for Timberwolves guard Jordan McLaughlin.
On Wednesday night, McLaughlin made national highlights, hitting a game-winning layup over Bam Adebayo, to help the Timberwolves to a 129-126 win over the Heat.
Adebayo is 6’9. McLaughlin is 5’11.
Wait . . . A two-way point guard, who is under 6-feet tall, is taking the biggest shot for the Timberwolves when D’Angelo Russell is on the floor?
For some that might be a surprise. But not for those paying attention. McLaughlin is one of those players who oozes confidence, even if he’s not super vocal about it.
