Like a certain teammate selected in the second round of the previous year’s draft, #Pelicans lottery pick Dyson Daniels brings a defense-first mentality to the court. The Australian guard already has eight steals in two preseason games. Profile: https://t.co/Seqe0qufrV pic.twitter.com/fACixOUGdK – 3:34 PM

It’s extremely rare for a 19 year old to have NBA-ready defense. Dyson Daniels looks like he has it.
In two preseason games (54 minutes), he’s already racked up eight steals and two blocks. Fights for positioning, great instincts, has the tools to recover when he does get beat. pic.twitter.com/NPBqFcdPJ5 – 10:10 AM

Dyson Daniels has had a rough offensive night, but just picked fellow lottery pick Jaden Ivey of the ball, to come close to wrapping this up for NOLA. Daniels 3/14 FGs but 7 reb, 4 ast, 5 stl – 10:36 PM

Dyson Daniels is just relentless defensively. Fights to stay in front. Fights for position. Fights around arms and hands to get a deflection of some kind.
He’s up to 4 steals – 10:09 PM

Dyson Daniels picks up his 4th steal of the night, then dribbles down and hits Trey Murphy in the corner for the 3.
Daniels has a lot of work to do to improve his offensive game. But he’s already a playmaker on defense. – 10:09 PM

Dyson Daniels on trying to make an impact on defense: “That’s what I do. That’s what I’ve done my whole career, play defense. I’m going to bring that every practice, every game. My offense is coming along as well, but I think defense is what’s going to get me on the floor first.” – 12:57 PM

More on this storyline
Michael Scotto: Following the recent extension for Pelicans forward Larry Nance Jr, I spoke with four NBA executives, and they told HoopsHype they projected Grant Williams to be worth between $12-13 million annually in any extension talks. One executive told me, “For an extension now, he’s probably in the $12-14 million territory. I think $15 million is not out of the question, but definitely on the high end, and it means they’d think he’s going to be a starter.” -via HoopsHype / October 6, 2022

Oleh Kosel: New Orleans Pelicans 2022-23 roster for training camp, set to take place from Sept. 27 – Oct 3. Fun fact: Zion Williamson is the fourth youngest on the 20-man roster despite being the longest tenured Pelican.
