“I Know I Can Shoot.” | Jaden McDaniels Postgame Sound | 03.19.24
Jane it seemed like you had a lot of success going downhill right to the rim like what was your mentality and and how do you think that worked out for you um just kind of just driving relentlessly and then just uh I mean I’ve been driving like the last few games not
Trying to like dunk or anything so this game I just went into it just trying to dunk everything and just be a force really do you think when when you do that and you get something going at The Rim it kind of gets you in a rhythm for
Your jumper as well yeah I think it just uh makes the game easier like cuz uh when you go up try and dunk it like you might get fouled or so like when you try to do little like layups or floors they might not see it as much so feel like
It’s just getting to the free throw line help me out of the lot how do you kind of come out of this one just knowing how short-handed you guys were like might of a back to back still battling these guys but maybe also hey you could have won it
With one or two more yeah uh just being aggressive at the right time just knowing that we got people down but just don’t force things to play out than like my element so just continue to play the way I play just uh just with more aggression and like more confidence shot
Maybe the way you want practices workouts whatever you just trying to get reps in or working on the tweets to The Forum I’m just I’m just shooting just trying to get reps in I ain’t made a shot off how who knows how long so just being
Able to see it Go in I mean it just helped me out a lot I don’t try to like overthink it or change nothing after I go like in a slump or anything I just I know I can shoot so just continue to shoot and my teammates know like they help me uh
Keep that confidence they keep feeding me the ball so it just builds up for me where do you think this this team is at right now kind of toughness wise come down the stretch it seemed like a very gutsy kind of effort I feel like we’re
Super tough and then we don’t got Rudy so it makes us like got to play even harder rebound cuz Rudy get half the rebounds we do we other team shoot so just uh we all happen to come in guards rebounding and boxing out the big
Guys so I mean we all tough so it helps us out a lot Jaden when you guys have been down some bodies here you and nille have been on the floor together a little bit more kind of having mult like the both of you out there defending guys but
What what kind of does that look how do you like playing in that next it’s good I mean me and the kill whoever come set the screen we can switch the screens we could go both guard the best player so I mean we’re both versatile on defense and
I mean it makes it easier for both of us I can take a break he can take a break on the best guy so we just flip-flop like that seems like like you’re kind of down as the like rim protector sometimes there too rather than being on the ball
Every single time is that an additional thing you can kind of do yeah I mean it’s something that I can be good at just being the low man and just being a rim protector I mean my arm so long I could contest everyone at The Rim so I
Feel like I could do both good well were you playing through anything tonight jayen look like you’re hob a little bit I know I was just cramping you know back to back got to me a little bit was a cramp yeah it was just cramping
Yeah what was what kind of a lift did luuka give just watching you watching him battle yic as much as man I mean we knew we had to help him but he gave us a good spark Off the Bench like knocking down threes shoot fighting in the post
With Luc I mean with yish so I mean he did his good job he held his weight I mean there’s nothing more we can ask from from tonight

Mr. 3 of 7 from the free throw line. They're called that for a reason. Trade jaden and gobert next year while their stock is high. 2 offensive bums, this is a scoring league.
Great game Jaden! We know you got the talent and the fight in you, and you showed us tonight👏🏼👏🏼
More Jaden interviews 🤝🏽
Welcome back slim 🔒
Tough loss but it was great to see Jaden get his rhythm back. If he can keep this gong we’ll be very scary heading into the playoffs.
He could be a great two way player if his role was bigger
Rooting for him. He played phenomenal tonight and genuinely helped keep us in it. Nothing to hold their heads down about they played their asses off tonight. Proud of the guys
jaden keep on they necks my guy, you snapped this game mvp forsure, we almost got that, 2 more games we see them we’ll see
Jaden and Naz are the X factors. If they’re consistently aggressive we’re gonna be very tough to beat in a series.
Jaden is a DAWG!
you my dawg
Love that guy. Fierce . . .
Way to come out and show heart and give the offense the spark they needed to compete all game.
