Jaden McDaniels is shooting a career-best from the 2-point range, largely thanks to his mid-range work, and this will pay off in the playoffs.
Kenny Kluska of Dunking with Wolves argues that Minnesota Timberwolves forward Jaden McDaniels' early-season mid-range shooting will be crucial come playoff time. Despite his 3-point shooting dropping to 30.8 percent through nine games, the 26-year-old forward is converting a career-best 62.7 percent of his shots inside the arc, including 61.1 percent from 10 to 14 feet.
Kluska highlights that McDaniels has stepped up offensively while Anthony Edwards missed five consecutive games, all while maintaining elite defense. Kluska notes that postseason defenses often take away threes and rim attempts, making reliable mid-range scoring vital for playoff success.
