Athletic 6'9 wings who can do anything remotely good on the offensive end while providing man defense and weakside rim protection are the golden goose of the NBA. McDaniels has all that and he' 22 (almost) years old. Plus he's got creation upside.
If I was a team who didnt expect to be good for years to come, that trade might be tough. But if I'm a good team I dont think twice.
This might end up being true. I think the Wolves will be a good team and likely win around 48-50 games, but they may still end up being a play-in team because the west is just so loaded. The Warriors, Suns, Clippers, Grizzlies, Nuggets, and Mavs will all likely finish ahead of them.
Jaden McDaniels is the most talented defender Gobert has played with other than Derrick Favors, but Favors was already past his perimeter defending prime when he started next to Rudy
He’s a terrible shooter. His defensive rating was terrible this year. What creation upside does he have? He will be the 5th option on offense. Never seen a dude who averaged 9/4 shoot 31% from 3 and have a terrible defensive rating get hyped so much in an off-season.
If they win 48 they will be firmly in. West is better all-around and the wins will be spread more evenly out this year.
You sound like someone who just looked at some basic stats and formed an opinion. If he's a consistent upper 30's 3pt shooter his future is All-Star.
Just watch the video

Lol you sound like someone who watched one video and formed an opinion.
I thought defensive rating was a good metric for defense?

When you compare teams you can't just go down the board and say who's better individually to determine which team is/will be better.
Fit and chemistry are both extremely important and often overlooked factors. Quin Snyder did an amazing job of building our system, both offensively and defensively around Rudy and his strengths. He's now like 2nd, arguably 3rd in the pecking order in Minny so will they do the same?
The Wolves played at the fastest pace in the league last season and were like 28th in half court offense. How will Rudy's game fit into that type of play style and how do KAT/Rudy fit together on both ends? I'm not a huge fan because I think it will require KAT to play almost exclusively on the perimeter offensively especially since McDaniels isn't a great shooter and he'll have to defend smaller guys in space a ton too.
KAT, DLo, and Edwards are all meh defensively too so I'm not sure how much different it will be there for him.
Pretty spot on.
**** me. Since when?
What does this even mean?
KAT, DLo and Edwards look like Mutombo, Bruce Bowen and Rodman compared to our squad last year.
