## Resource

The Timberwolves are betting big on Jaden McDaniels as their elite perimeter defender, even if it means reshuffling the frontcourt. Coach Finch and President Connelly believe his defensive prowess against guards outweighs the risks of moving him to power forward — a role that could strain his frame. They’ve got internal options for the big spot, but no clear answer yet. The gamble? Keeping McDaniels where he thrives, trusting the rest of the roster to cover the gaps — and hoping that’s enough to win.
