Jaden McDaniels is knocking on the door of genuine stardom—and no one can stop him but himself.
It was recently reported by Michael Scott of HoopsHype that the Minnesota Timberwolves view Jaden McDaniels as, "Close to untouchable." It's the type of distinction that's typically reserved for players north of the All-Star line, but is seemingly being confidently applied to McDaniels.
Less than two months into the 2025-26 season, it's easy to understand why the Timberwolves are so comfortable endorsing McDaniels as a cornerstone: He's nearing a leap to two-way stardom.
