It is too early to talk about what he will do next year. Guys work on their game in the offseason. Jaden’s 24-25 salary is actually earned in 24-25. In 23-24 he is making 3.9 and over performing that with his defense.
Regarding his offense, Jaden is still averaging 10.3 PPG on 48.3% shooting. It is his 3 point percentage that has nosedived to 33.7%. But, his volume is 199 attempts. If he had made 8 more 3s he would be over 37.5%. If he made just 4 more 3s he would be 35.67%. We have seen players go throw shooting slumps. His has lasted a little less than a month, and tanked his percentage. If Jaden gets back on track, especially from the corner, people will be much more excited about his potential again, and even more excited about the possibilities his return to form present in the playoffs.
Edit to update: I did the math, Jaden is 8 of 35 from deep in March. 5 of those came from his March 1st game where he went 5 of 7. 8/35 is 22.85%. Jaden is currently 67 of 199. Before this month Jaden was shooting 35.97% from deep. A clear regression, but hardly catastrophic.
