Found our Future Small Forward
KJ McDaniels
Ok so I can't say I found him, it was actually MM who was high on this guy so I decided to check up on how he is doing so far this season for the 76ers. Read up on some stats and went on some 76ers forums to read about him.
In 22.4 minutes a game:
He's shooting 46.2 from the field on 7 attempts a game
Shooting 39.5% from the 3 point line at 2.9 attempts a game
He is shooting 50% from the corner 3
And he's only turning it over 1.6 times.
And he's a lockdown defender and floor runner/transition finisher.
Now you COULD say this is because he is playing for a bad 76ers team, but regardless of your team, good defense is good defense, and a good 3 ball is a good 3 ball. Actually when you are on a bad team your defense should look worse for a lack of help defense.
KJ McDaniels was smart enough and had enough faith in his natural ability to only sign a 1 year deal so he could try and earn a nicer contract.
The only thing he lacked in college was the 3 ball, and it looks like its clicking.
