Timberwolves guard Jaylen Nowell and forward Jaden McDaniels didn't get to play together at the University of Washington before each entered the NBA draft.
McDaniels entered the program the season after the Wolves took Nowell in the second round of the 2019 draft.
But they've gotten to know each other better — and Wolves fans have been able to see what they can do — as both emerged as rotation pieces for the Wolves over the past month.
The Wolves are seeing what McDaniels and Nowell can do, but their success in carving out a role for themselves comes as little surprise to their former coach with the Huskies, Mike Hopkins.
