it's telling that Jaden has older brother in nba, who looks copy past the same as him and did not develop his body at all
As far as Isaac goes, he had lot of time to develop his upper body because his lower body was always hurt
guy weared knee pads, ankle braces and still torn ACL and MCL
If THAT'S telling, do you want to see other pictures of NBA players' brothers???
At 15, there isn't anyone who is flawless. I think there are a lot of other players who have higher floors than JM, but the Magic don't need more role players. They need to swing big. Whether that's a home run or foul ball, we have to take that swing. If he busts, he's a guy taken outside of the lottery and it had very little chance of succeeding anyways.
It's very easy to bash all the guys in this draft like you do, but do you have the balls to stand tall for another player at 15?
You say THIS is what the Magic should be doing. For 2 years in a row we've been a 1st round exit team. You WANT to be picking in this draft range. THIS is your preferred rebuilding effort. You should be promoting ALL of your top guys for us to take. There shouldn't be a few.
Jaden is 20, Jalen is 22. If i post picture of them you couldn't tell witch one is who. They look identical.
Jalen already plays in nba, at college in his second year he averaged 16ppg, 8 rpg, 2 apg, 52,5% TS.
Jalen freshman year at college : 13 ppg, 5,8 rpg,2,1 apg, 51% TS
Sure, one was frashman and other was sophmore but there is sooo little difference in the way they play, are built and they pretty much have identical skillset.
While those intrigued by him will point to his rangy frame and potential skill-set on the perimeter as a face-up forward, his detractors will point to the inconsistency, inefficiency and number of puzzling decisions he made on the court with the ball in his hands as a Fr as cause for concern … Seems to struggle, for whatever reason, to make the most of his abilities and often leaves you wanting more …. Not physically strong at all currently, would benefit from significantly adding weight to his 200 lb frame … A lot of his struggles seem to stem from his lack of physicality … While a solid athlete, McDaniels isn’t exactly twitchy and doesn’t have great explosiveness … Shows great ability and talent in spurts, but appears to lack the ability to sustain that level of focus and intensity … Struggles with things like finishing contested shots near the rim, post offense/defense, and playing through contact at the moment; should not be confused with a tough or physical player … Played nearly exclusively in zone defense in college, will be very green with NBA defensive concepts as a young player … Struggled to defend without fouling last season (3.3 fpg), while also demonstrating his raw defensive fundamentals and instincts by often reaching and not moving his feet or fouling players while opponents were well beyond the 3 point line … His overall feel for the game and shot selection needs improvement … He shot a lot of low percentage long 2s and didn’t hit them with any type of consistency … Must cut down on his turnovers (3.2 topg), often throwing lazy entry passes and has a habit of telegraphing what he intends to do … Doesn’t play without the ball particularly well, often is a complete non-factor in half court offense when plays aren’t run for him
This is are remarks of very,very average prospect who will need years to develop body and as many years to develop basketball skills. Not to mention that every single scouting report repeats same things: weak, not athletic, not quick.
How execlly will super skinny, not skilled, poor passer, very very weak player score in nba? Answer is probably very simple: he won't. This isn't really Ingram type guy, who was super skinny, but still dominated college due his lenght, agility and solid jumpshot.
He is more like DJ Wilson who was drafted 17# overall based on nothing but raw potential. Spoiler alert: 3 years later he still is same player.
But once again, you can't look at his brother , who is 2 years older, already in nba, and not use him as actual comparison. Same size, underweight, almost identical skills. Same issues.
