Statistically, Daniels was one of the most impressive players in high-level Europe, averaging 17 points and 10 rebounds per game playing for a playoff team in Biellaanother one of the best scouting teams in all of Europe. Daniels went undrafted out of college but made the Sacramento Kings roster and stuck for his entire rookie season, he then went to the D-League for a year where he put up similar numbers to what he did in the Italian league.
Daniels is now getting looks from teams as high up as the Euroleague, so its not quite clear that the NBA can compete for his services as well anymore for the minimum. Hes a 6-8 combo forward who used to play point guard in high school and has retained many of the perimeter skills from thenparticularly his passing. He has a great basketball IQ and is an extremely versatile player, sticking his nose in all kinds of places and representing a tremendous mismatch threat. Hes a fantastic rebounder with great hands and toughness, and can score in a variety of ways with shaky range out to the 3-point line.
