Anthony Edwards is 100% real on Jaden McDaniels
Jaden McDaniels is in the sixth year with Minnesota Timberwolves. Throughout his career, he has improved each season by scoring more points per game and rounding out his entire skill set. The Timberwolves starter is posting career highs in points per game, three-point percentage, free throw percentage and 1.4 blocks per game.
His 53.8 three-point percentage leads the NBA after 11 games. In a recent article from The Athletic, he highlights what is his teammates said of his rise.
“We’re going to keep giving him the ball, putting the ball in his hands,” Anthony Edwards he said. “He can make plays with the ball in his hands; he just has to make the right play. If he makes the right play, we can be 10 times better, you know? Because he’s a great scorer. We just need another facilitator.”
Julius Randle joined in as well.
“He’s one of the best two-way players in the league,” Randle said. “We have to be consistent with that and keep feeding him confidence, believing in him.”
That is clear McDaniels played himself in a prominent role with the team. The Timberwolves hope to get over the hump in the competitive Western Conference. With the emergence of a striker, the T-Wolves may have that opportunity.
Minnesota hosts the Sacramento Kings for the NBA Cup on Friday night. They aim to improve to 8-4 on the season, which could put them in 5th place in the conference if the Los Angeles Lakers lose to the New Orleans Pelicans.
