It’s clear that De’Aaron Fox and Buddy Hield can only take the Sacramento Kings so far. The team needs another ball-handler and somebody who can carry a portion of the offensive load.
Enter Jaden McDaniels. The 6’9″ forward did a little bit of everything for Washington this season as he put up 13.0 points, 5.8 rebounds and 2.1 assists. He was a mildly efficient scorer across the board, shooting 40.5 percent from the floor and 33.9 percent from deep.
He is a fluid athlete and can extend his range far beyond the 3-point line. McDaniels has everything he needs to be an elite scorer but his thin frame could hold him back from being a quality defender.
