9. Jaden and Jalen McDaniels

The McDaniels brothers feel like a dynasty on the come-up. Jalen is a key rotational cog in Charlotte, while Jaden is considered a central part of the Minnesota Timberwolves‘ future.

Jalen is the older of the two, in his fourth season in the NBA with the Hornets. While he doesn’t seem to be on a path to stardom, he’s made a consistent impact off the bench for years. Last season, he averaged 6.2 points and 3.1 rebounds per game and the big man made a career-high 48.4 percent of his shots.

Jalen is on a longer leash this season and taking full advantage of it. Playing the most minutes of his career, he’s averaging 9.4 points and 4.9 rebounds per game while shooting a career-best 38.5 percent from three.

The ceiling appears to be higher for his younger brother. Jaden is in his third season with the Timberwolves. He was a part-time starter during his first two seasons, showing an ability to make an impact off the bench, like his older brother.

Minnesota’s belief in him is so strong, they were unwilling to part with him in any trade this summer. The team has struggled this season, but Jaden has been solid as a starter and recently had his best game of the year, recording 24 points and eight rebounds against the Phoenix Suns.

As one of the younger sets of brothers in the league, the future could be bright for the McDaniels siblings.
