The second highest score in the team! The Timberwolves forward gate has tried their best on the offensive end?

In a previous NBA playoff Western Conference Finals G4, the Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves who played at home 128-126. After this game, the Thunder widened the total score of the series to 3-1, and had already won the match point of this round of series; while the Timberwolves would encounter huge trouble, they were already on the edge of the cliff with one foot.

In this game, although the Timberwolves lost the game with some regrets, the team's starting lineman Jaden McDaniels' performance is still worthy of recognition. McDaniels played 31 minutes and 11 seconds in the whole game, made 9 of 15 shots, 3 of 6 from outside the three-point line, and 1 of 1 free throw. He got the second highest score of the team, 22 points plus 4 rebounds, 2 assists, 4 steals and 1 block. He also had 2 turnovers and 3 fouls, with a plus-minus value of -5. McDaniels' performance on the offensive end can be said to have far exceeded everyone's expectations. His offensive efficiency is quite outstanding, he has also shown comprehensive scoring ability, and his stability outside the three-point line is also quite good. Not only that, McDaniels' performance on the defensive end is still very outstanding, and he is still a very excellent defender. McDaniels has played his value on both offense and defense, but unfortunately the performance of other players of the team is really not ideal, and his series of efforts cannot receive enough rewards.

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 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 minutes of playing time in the first 14 games, with averaging 15.4 points, 5.6 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 0.9 blocks, and 1.2 turnovers and 3.5 fouls. He shot 54.5%, three-point shooting percentage 40%, and free throw shooting percentage 89.3%.

McDaniels' performance during the playoffs is already outstanding enough. He is not only a reliable defender, but his performance on the offensive end is far beyond everyone's expectations, and his effect on the court is also quite outstanding. However, in this round of the series, the performance of several core players of the Timberwolves was very disappointing. They could be said to have not performed as well as they should, which directly led to the team's serious shortcomings in competitiveness. After all, McDaniels is not the core figure of the team. He can help the team hold the lower limit, but the ones that really determine the upper limit are Anthony Edwards and Julius Randle. The Timberwolves' prospects are really worrying when the core players do not play.
