On his KG Certified podcast, the 12-time All-Defensive Player said of McDaniels, “At some point, Jaden McDaniels is going to win Defensive Player of the Year. He should, just because of his versatility. We always look at the blocked shots and that to be the signature of the Defensive Player. I think the Defensive Player award needs to morph. With the game being where it’s at, if you’re able to play one through four on the perimeter, that’s not normal. Especially with more guards. If you can do that, he should be in consideration.”
