Timberwolves' Jaden McDaniels: Could shift to small forward
McDaniels could shift back to small forward following Minnesota's agreement with Jonathan Kuminga.
McDaniels currently sits atop the depth chart at power forward, but Kuminga was reportedly recruited to start at the position alongside McDaniels, Anthony Edwards, LaMelo Ball and Rudy Gobert. McDaniels' playing time should remain secure due to his defensive versatility, though the additions of Kuminga and Ball could result in fewer offensive opportunities.

Timberwolves' Jaden McDaniels: Larger role incoming?
McDaniels appears positioned for an even larger role after Minnesota acquired LaMelo Ball while retaining its defensive core, according to Cholo Magsino of Yahoo Sports.
The versatile forward was reportedly considered off-limits in trade discussions and remains one of the organization's foundational pieces alongside Edwards. Ball's playmaking ability could create more scoring opportunities for McDaniels, particularly as a cutter and transition threat. His defensive responsibilities should remain substantial.

Timberwolves' Jaden McDaniels: Struggles in Game 6 loss
McDaniels logged 13 points (4-13 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), one rebound, three assists and one block across 23 minutes during Friday's 139-109 loss to the Spurs in Game 6 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
McDaniels struggled with his efficiency from the field in Friday's loss as the Timberwolves connected on just 37.7 percent of their field-goal attempts. It was a disappointing end to the postseason, but it doesn't take away from the step that McDaniels took during the 2025-26 campaign. He finished the regular season averaging a career-high 14.8 points per game while connecting on 41.2 percent of his three-point attempts. Per Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic, the Timberwolves will likely reshape their roster around Anthony Edwards this offseason, and if that means moving on from Julius Randle, then McDaniels could take on an even larger role.

Timberwolves' Jaden McDaniels: Nets 14 points in crucial win
McDaniels notched 14 points (6-15 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and six rebounds in 41 minutes during Sunday's 114-109 victory over the Spurs in Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
McDaniels' production has suffered since Anthony Edwards' return to action, and a below-average shooting night kept him in check during Game 4. Despite the downtick, McDaniels has demonstrated a solid floor throughout the postseason, averaging 16.6 points, 6.2 rebounds and 2.4 assists over 10 playoff contests.
