Jaden McDaniels, deadpan delivery, on what worked for the Timberwolves offensively.

Jaden: Go at Jokic, Jamal, all the bad defenders. Tim Hardaway, Cam Johnson, Aaron Gordon, their whole team.”

Q: They’re all bad defenders?

The problem with the Pistons is that they have offensive players & defensive players, but not enough who can do both:

Duren, Tobias & Duncan in for offense? Defense takes a hit.
Stew, Ron & Ausar in for defense? Offense takes a hit.

The Magic are a much different story.
