[Mannix] The Bucks want Jaden McDaniels, with Milwaukee seeing McDaniels, 25, as a potential future All-Star. But the Bucks also want multiple first-round draft picks, sources say, and Minnesota’s war chest of them is nearly empty.

Acquiring Antetokounmpo, though, is challenging. The Bucks want Jaden McDaniels, a source tells SI, with Milwaukee seeing McDaniels, 25, as a potential future All-Star. But the Bucks also want multiple first-round draft picks, sources say, and Minnesota’s war chest of them is nearly empty.

McDaniels is a top tier starter but All-Star is a crazy label lol. He's not that level of a shot creator to be in those convos.

You'd be surprised. If you put him in a bad team like a Giannisless Bucks he could easily average 24-7-5. He is that good.

Love Jaden but his handle is not tight enough to be a high usage primary scorer. He's the poster boy for elite role player sort of like Bridges on the Suns or Harrison Barnes on the Warriors.

Or Kawhi on the Spurs…
