Inscrutably stoic, Jaden McDaniels lets his game do the talking. And while his game isn't loud or brash, McDaniels is making a name for himself around the league because of his two-way play.
On a recent episode of his podcast, Los Angeles Clippers All-Star Paul George called the 22-year-old McDaniels one of the most underrated players 25-and-under in the NBA.
“One of the guys that are ultra talented, that isn’t probably on everybody’s radar, is Jaden McDaniels in Minnesota," George said. "He got game. Great defender, good feet, quick hands.”
Often viewed as a top tier two-way player, George's praise of McDaniels carries a lot of weight. It's an opposing superstar player recognizing how impactful McDaniels is for the Wolves.
Or as the kids say, game recognize game.
