We Need to Talk About Jaden

Post by thedoper »

Why does he start? I don't see it right now. I like his potential, but he's been really bad.

Im not saying no playing time. I just don't see why he needed to be gift wrapped starting. The kid needs to wake up on both sides of the ball. His rebounding is shit for his size.

I love him..love his potential but he's not there yet.

I also think he can't guard all positions. (Maybe 3?)

Simple solution, because I think to a man we all expected him to spend time in G-League last year and he never did. Maybe he needs some more time somewhere that showcases him as a player superior to his competition.

Send him to Iowa. Send Knight to Minnesota. Ideally I'd want Wright up as well and McLaughlin fired into the sun, but this is a size deficient team.

He can guard both wing positions. He doesn't have the size or strength to consistently battle fours or fives. His lateral quicks aren't enough to stay with most point guards. He's an awesome wing defender, but that's not enough to warrant the premature anointment he's received from Wolves fans.

Jaden can guards 3s and 4s, but he can't box out.

I've been disappointed with him this year but the wolves have been really good with him on the floor this year, net rating on the team.

I think there isn't great wing options. Prince, Beasley, Okogie are not taking this minutes with their play.
