Due to the harsh standards, the Timberwolves forward gate cannot be 100% invested in the defensive end?
In the previous NBA Western Conference Finals, the Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves 14-88. After this game, the Thunder took the lead, achieved a good start in the series, and temporarily led the opponent 1-0 in the total score.
Although the Timberwolves lost the game in this game, the team's starting lineup Jaden McDaniels' performance is actually worthy of recognition. McDaniels played 23 minutes and 44 seconds in the whole game, made 3 of 5 shots and 1 of 3 from outside the three-point line, scored 7 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 1 block, and had 3 turnovers and 6 fouls, with a plus-negative value of -10. McDaniels did not get much out of the offensive end, but he also scored a lot of points in this situation, providing certain support for the team, and he also showed certain passing ability and support ability. McDaniels was also an effective restriction on the opponent's core character, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, on the defensive end, resulting in Alexander's offensive efficiency being unsatisfactory. Unfortunately, McDaniels was called out a lot of fouls due to scale issues, which led to limited playing time, which also led to his inability to display all his talents.
In the NBA regular season this season, McDaniels maintained full attendance in 82 games. During his 31.9 minutes of playing time, McDaniels averaged 12.2 points, 5.7 rebounds, 2 assists, 1.3 steals and 0.9 blocks, and had 1.2 turnovers and 2.7 fouls. He shot 47.7% from the field, 33% from three-point shooting percentage and 81.3% from free throws. In the playoffs, McDaniels averaged 34.9 minutes in the first 11 games, with averaging 14.6 points, 6.1 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 0.8 blocks, and 1.3 turnovers and 3.5 fouls. He shot 55.6%, three-point shooting percentage 34.4%, and 87% free throw shooting percentage.
McDaniels' performance during the playoffs and his importance to the team are visible to the naked eye. Not only did he make outstanding contributions on the defensive end, but his performance on the offensive end is also much better than everyone imagined. He is also a reliable scorer. The Timberwolves' ability to advance to the Western Conference Finals is also closely related to McDaniels' on-field performance. However, it seems that McDaniels has really encountered some trouble in this round of series. Facing Alexander with star whistle, McDaniels has no way to invest 100% on the court, which will also affect his defensive contribution and on-court value. I don't know if the situation in this regard can change in the next game.
