During the playoffs last year, Anthony Edwards caught many Flaks by comparing Jaden McDaniels to Kevin Durant.
His exact quote is, “Yeah, they got Kevin Durant, but Jaden McDaniels.”
Fans laughed at Edwards by comparing two players of different levels.
After today’s victory, Edwards doubled his comments, pointing out that McDaniels is a key player to step up when the lights are bright.
“Jayden is incredible. People are teasing me a bit like it was three years ago (sic) because of my comments I made about Jayden.”
“But I look at him. He plays incredible. All games. All year round. Ups and downs, he stays with us. He’s very coachable.”

McDaniels was previously known as a powerful advocate, but now he is a reliable asset on both ends of the court.
As the Timberwolves move on to the next round, it is believed he will play a major role in the team.
