One of the biggest stories, early in the Minnesota Timberwolves' season, was Jaden McDaniels' offensive growth. Through the first seven games, McDaniels averaged 18.6 points (13.3 FGA), 4.1 rebounds, 2 assists, on 53.8/46.2/81.8 shooting splits. In the past six games, though, McDaniels has averaged 12 points (9.7 FGA), 5.3 rebounds, and 2.7 assists, on 48.3/31.6/90.9 shooting splits.
A few things could be going on here. Anthony Edwards returned from injury in the eighth game of the season, so it could be natural regression. McDaniels missed his first game in two seasons with a wrist injury, which could be bothering him.
