Jaden McDaniels is doing something that even Timberwolves fans didn't expect
Dallas Mavericks v Minnesota Timberwolves | David Berding/GettyImagesHeading into the season, Minnesota Timberwolves forward Jaden McDaniels was expected to reach another level offensively. He showed this upside in the playoffs, averaging 14.7 points. Now, though McDaniels is averaging 17.5 points, a 5.3 ppg increase from his previous career high.
McDaniels has been more aggressive as a shot creator, and Chris Finch has made it a point of emphasis to get him more involved in the offense. However, what's truly shocked me and Timberwolves fans has been McDaniels' growth as a 3-point shooter.
