NEW YORK — Reading into statistical trends in the preseason can often be a fool's errand, but there was one concern that had bubbled to the surface over the Wolves first two games against the Pelicans and Nuggets: the offense of Jaden McDaniels.
McDaniels projects to be a major part of the starting lineup and rotation this season thanks to his defensive abilities. The Wolves would like to see McDaniels make a leap offensively as well. That's one reason why McDaniels participated in the Summer League in Las Vegas — to help develop his offensive game.
