The Official Jaden McDaniels Thread

Jaden McDefense?

DEN has The Joker....can we have THE JAILER?

That's a good one. Just spit balling here to trigger thoughts and new ideas from you all.

The Jailer
The Gatekeeper
Fort Knox
Alcatraz

The glove is already taken. The mitten sounds too Minnesota nice. How about the gauntlet?

I asked Chat GPT for some ideas to give defensive dynamo Jaden a nickname; here’s what it said-

1. Jaden "The Wall" McDaniels
2. The McDaniels Menace
3. J-Mac Lockdown
4. The Seattle Stopper
5. Jaden "The Eraser" McDaniels
6. The Emerald City Enforcer
7. Jaden "The Sentinel" McDaniels
8. The Defensive Dynamo
9. Jaden "The Shield" McDaniels
10. The Emerald City Sentinel

None of its suggested names are particularly inventive, but “The Seattle Stopper” could have a dual meaning: Of course, stopper on the floor, but also a guy who - through his outstanding play and resulting team success - helped stop the Wolves from relocating to Seattle haha.

I prefer something simple: Jay-D

The Spider is already in use. Kinda like the Jailer.

How about a little Marvel spin - JCage

While everybody is saying that Conley trade is about Gobert, I wonder if both Ant and MCD can make natural step forward in offense.

Read on Twitter

It certainly allows us to reset the natural pecking order on offense, which to me was the biggest goal and outcome of the trade.

Young KD or young KG?

Or young Kawhi?

See example below. This looked a lot like Slo-Mo move

Jaden needs to continue to be aggressive offensively. We need his scoring even when KAT comes back, having him be a consistent ~15 PPG scorer with his defense would be so huge.

Ha! I didn’t see that at all - that’s great!

The truth is, many nba nicknames don’t seem to have a lot to do with anything to do with the player. Anybody could be “The Big Ticket” for example. However, if we’re looking for an identifier, one of the things people always say about Jaden is that he’s so long, so maybe there’s something there?

The Long Arm of the Law is clunky and archaic. Long Shadow? A shadow is stuck right to you, and you can’t escape it?

I still think something will grow organically that we never saw coming, but maybe someone here will come up with it.

The Cooler

He has a “cool time” out there.

I enjoy guarding those guys," McDaniels said. "I've always watched them so just being able to guard them and try to make their night bad is fun for me."

Did he feel like he accomplished that?

"I think I did it a little bit for a cool amount of time during the game," McDaniels said. "At the end, started slipping, but I held my own."

It kind of fits his personality too. He’s never hot-tempered, and he never seems to get emotional even when he makes a great play.

Young KD or young KG?

Or young Kawhi?

I've been thinking for a while that his youth and frame and growing into his body remind me of a cross between a young Garnett and a young Giannis.

You can't throw his brother's name in there, you'll really confuse shrink then!
