Good stuff, as always! The play breakdowns are always my favourite part. If I may also add a small point of improvement: I think the correct term is 'he shot 6,5 percentagePOINTS lower'… not that anyone couldn't understand what you meant but well … 😀
Something that needs to be explored is rotations where he can be with the 2nd squad some as a more primary scorer, rather than always #3 and 4 with the starters. There were plenty of times when the bench had a lot of trouble scoring and they could rearrange the rotation so Jaden played with them some minutes. He and Naz could do some damage.
I agree with this. Jaden is so long and fluid he could really take a step on offense. KAT is best when he's getting open threes and attacking closeouts.
It does the team no good o simply default to Jaden is a fifth option. I have considered him an offensively gifted mismatch 2,3 & 4 since he arrived, but if a player is intentionally or unintentionally frozen out of the offense for stretches, the resulting inconsistency is as predictable as Finch and staff are responsible for failing to properly utilize him. In a different setting, he could be a number three scorer, but he is indeed truly needed for his defensive energy and acumen, so he is down the food chain with his offense – and this only underscores how gifted he is. It's up to Finch to make sure he is able to feel and function within the rhythm of the offense so the team can truly maximize his three-tier ability.
Jaden is the definition on a guy who plays off confidence. I want to see Jaden with Mike, Rudy and Joe can get him easy buckets. We need him playing with confidence .
Many fans don't think about how hard it is to shoot when your heart's racing from playing the best possible defense. Consider Luka Doncic as a comparison, all offense and no defense. Jaden is doing just fine.

Let him shoot more threes
Dudes will see H&G and say, "hell yes"

Jaden becomes a KD clone next year?

The team has to continue to encourage him to be aggressive, I have seen him hesitate & shy away when he has a open shot or lane
Maybe TSJ can pick up some of the defensive duties that can let McDaniels give more on offense

Suns get Tyus Jones on a vet minimum deal.
Should the Wolves sign Markelle Fultz to a one year vet minimum deal?
