I’m so glad right now for the way he’s been playing lately. He’s kinda like more agressive and more helpful for the team either. Great video btw. Keep going buddy.
This is exactly what us old heads are looking for in the nba..if the 3 isn't dropping move your game in another direction. Launching 3s is lazy ball..not everyone needs to be a spot up shooter. 🔥 great vid!
When you talk about them getting easy buckets, that's exactly what was happening against Denver, seemed like we were getting easy bucket after easy bucket
Jaden has the worst defender on the opposing team on him and if he gets the ball on the move, it's almost certain that he will get a clear driving lane to the rim. He has the ability to make the right play or score over the help defender with his 7 foot frame and freakishly long arms. He's also surprisingly good on the fast break with his handle. He is finally getting rewarded for his hard work on defense with some breathing room on offense and that will do wonders for his shot as well since it's all about rhythm and touches. I'm so happy for Jaden for the amount of bs he had to endure over the past couple of years basically being forced to stay in the corners and not do anything.
I’ve always thought jaden mcdaniels was super overrated because of the fact that he was a mediocre 3 point shooter and poor rebounder, sure he plays great defense but Ive always said that I won’t like him until he learns to rebound the basketball after playing defense, well he finally is and if he continues to get 6 or 7 boards a game he will actually be worth the money why the wolves are paying him!
4:43 – this is something they've been doing a lot more lately, and rudy has been pretty good with his decision making. but for me, jaden's biggest change has been rebounding both defensively and offensively. he has pretty good hands and gets up above most non-centers.
Feel like I've been the only Jaden defender when the fanbase doesn't appreciate everything he does defensively, so even going from 10 points per game to 14 seems to make a huge difference for the team
Great video. I thought you might highlight Gobert's recent improvement given his performance against Denver but this was equally worthwhile to cover too. He's also picked up his rebounding over these past 2 months too.
He has a crazy large gap in his home/road splits for 3 pointers too. I'm not sure if that's just small sample noise or what, but any way to improve his shooting on the road will make a big difference towards increasing his shooting efficiency overall.
One of the biggest things I was looking forward to this year was a huge leap from Jaden, he got the contract, coming off a great year but he took a huge step back for that first 30 games to the point where I had lost my confidence that he was a good player but I am glad to see him back. I still wish Jaden and Naz would get in their feelings less when adversity happens
They forgot to mention his increase activity in his rebounding. It's really nice to see Jaden compete for the rebounds, especially when the team is struggling in the that department. Nice to see him play into his strenghts rather than just sit in the corner and miss those 3s
Getting a 6-10 athlete to the dunker spot is so important. Though the analytics would say to get the open 3 look getting a guaranteed 2 on a dunk can be demoralizing to the defense

What are those bright shoes Mcdaniels is wearing?
Mcdaniels has already been much more valuable than Wiggins ever was.
Wait! He's 6'10? Good to see him using his length and athleticism.
Thanks for posting, been loving your videos all season!

Fantastic video. Love your content. Thanks so much for all the time and effort you put into creating these videos.
Would love to see him get some more minutes at the four
Thanks for the great content!
Typical stubborn finch taking this long to stop putting mcdaniels in the corner to shoot 3s when everyone knows mcdaniels ain’t a shooter.
This was a great breakdown, Jayden has been really good as of late…great video!!
He needs to play like this more often. If he’s playing like this we can’t be stopped

He’s playing more like a PF than SF lately and it seems to be suiting him a lot better
Trick or Treat Jaden.

He’s the inside offense that Rudy is not. Good insight.
Comment for the sake of "engagement". Great video like always. Thank you, sir.
It feels like Jaden's mid range/inside scoring is helping his 3-point shooting confidence also. Love to see it. Great vid!
Jaden is playing more like Naz Reid. Decisive. Pass, drive, or shoot right away. He doesn’t need to hold it like Ant or Randle!
Your video edit game is getting seatbelt status brother 🐺
Dude was just scared to get injured again. Shut can be a monkey on the back

love Howls n Growls! clear analysis, timely uploads, and a unique POV on what's happening on the court 🔥
Commenting for the algorithm
he's been playing recently the way he always should have. dude has a 7' wingspan, like bro, get to the rim
After Slow-mo got traded, Jaden has been my favorite player. So happy to see him doing well.

Thank you for another great breakdown 🏀 !

jaden mcdaniels impact has been big!!! hope he continues to play like this 🐺🐺🐺
Jaden is a mid to close range demon and it seems finch is letting do his own thing rather then just sitting in the corner chucking 3s.
Great breakdown
The core of Ant, Naz and Jaden are developing nicely. Add Rob (and TSJ) to that lot and damn we looking good now and for the future 🔥
he has to. we a mediocre team if he can’t contribute offensively. too many minutes.

I don't believe in him.
Love the content, man. I look forward to these videos.
dont exposed the secret hehe
How long until opponents realize he isn’t shooting 3s and counter his drives?
Jaden is our version of Amen Thompson

keep this up! thanks
