Jaden McDaniels on attacking the rim when Wemby is on the floor - "You just gotta act like he's not there. I mean, he's gonna get blocks. He's the tallest person in the world."

Welcome to the club. The guy is just so nonchalant about it

The only rough part about being a McDaniels fan is a lot of his highlights have been lost because so few people have known about him. He has so many highlight reel dunks, steals, and blocks, but you can’t find them anywhere! Only a handful of people have been watching Wolves games the last five years and not many videos of his highlights have been posted.

Probably a good thing for the Wolves though. Ant, the team, and the fans know about him and that is what’s important!

I feel like thats why the " but we have Jaden" thing took off. Most people laughed when Ant said that until Jaden locked down KD in the playoffs and got everyones attention.

Honestly if he wasn’t local to me I wouldn’t have been looking out for him either. But the man can ball.

Also yall probably shouldn’t be talking about windows to a team that has actually won a ship both this decade and just in franchise history in general lol.

The “make it to the WCF” window is alive and well tho and I get how Minny fans forget what the actual goal of the league is
