Jaden McDaniels

Jaden McDaniels is the kind of player I value more the longer I watch basketball. A 206 cm wing out of Federal Way, Washington, by way of the University of Washington and now Minnesota, he is built around defense, and that is where my respect lives. He may never top a scoring chart, but ask opposing stars who they least want guarding them and his name comes up. Smothering the other team's best option is unglamorous work that decides playoff games. Born in 2000, he is still ascending, and defense-first players tend to age well. I am betting on a long, useful career for him.
