Edwards and Ball are Wolves' stars, but don't sleep on Jaden McDaniels

As the Timberwolves prepare for another season, fans will undoubtedly focus on the dynamic duo of Anthony Edwards and LaMelo Ball. The two 25-year-old stars are expected to dominate the three-point game, complementing each other's skills and creating memorable moments on the court. However, it would be a mistake to overlook another key player on the roster - Jaden McDaniels, a member of the 2020 NBA Draft taken in the first round.

McDaniels' preseason performance suggests he's ready to take a giant step forward offensively. In a game against the Knicks at Madison Square Garden, McDaniels contributed 22 points over 24 minutes, shooting an impressive 8-of-12, including 4-of-5 from beyond the arc. He has now played a total of 60 minutes across three exhibition games, scoring 47 points in the process.

His ability to score, coupled with his playmaking abilities, positions him as a strong candidate for the starting point guard position alongside Edwards and Ball.

Edwards will likely remain the Timberwolves' primary scorer, while Ball will provide an abundance of three-point attempts. However, McDaniels has proven to be a valuable option on the offensive end, benefiting from the newfound ability to create scoring opportunities through the playmaking of Ball and the gravity of Edwards. With the departure of Julius Randle and Naz Reid, McDaniels has become a focal point on the offense, and his inclusion in the Big Three could elevate the Timberwolves to new heights.
