Projected lottery pick Dyson Daniels will reportedly work out with the New Orleans Pelicans over the weekend, according to Jake Madison of Locked on Pelicans.
Daniels, who was born in Australia, averaged 11.3 points, 6.2 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 1.9 steals with the NBA G League Ignite this season. He emerged as perhaps the top prospect on the team and is viewed as one of the best perimeter defenders in the draft.
The Pelicans hold the eighth pick in the first round and the 41st pick in the second round, respectively. Daniels is the only known first-round prospect to work out with the Pelicans as the team has been quiet on that front, at least publically.

Daniels impressed with his decision-making and ability to make plays for others throughout the season with the Ignite. He projects to be available on draft night when the Pelicans are on the clock and could be a potential target this year.
The NBA draft will take place on June 23.
