NBA ROLE: NEW WAVE, LOCKDOWN FORWARD

 

A former McDonald’s All-American & younger bro. of Raptors forward Jalen McDaniels, Jaden is an intriguing, 6’10 forward w/ guard-like ball-handling ability & crazy defensive versatility; noble scorer: McDaniels likes to get buckets pull-ups, is developing as an iso scorer; size is a tremendous edge on the perimeter: McDaniels likes to hang & finish, has a knack for finding buckets as a slasher/finisher at the rim; created a lane in Minnesota as an all-league, defensive playmaker: plays the lanes, good rebounder & shot-blocker (highly effective on the weak side) - “lockdown” stopper: McDaniels uses his athleticism & anticipation to a supreme advantage each and every night; improved 3-pt. game has given him leg up in the rotation; further offensive development & playmaking awareness efficiency & improving range are a couple of areas to work on; Jaden broke out during MIN’s Conference Finals run in 2024: ideal defensive complement to Rudy Gobert & Anthony Edwards - McDaniels is MIN’s Undisputed X-Factor
