If there’s one thing that Daniels has learned in his NBA career, it’s that being genuine can leave a lasting impression in the league. He has played for seven teams and on each stop, he invests a lot of time in learning more about the coaches and players he’s going to work with. He’ll ask coaches about their families or players about the specific nuances of certain plays. “A lot of guys can do it and try to be fake about it, but you actually have to be that guy [to earn respect,” Daniels explained. “I went undrafted, I don’t play 35 minutes a game. But I still am going into year eight next year in the NBA. So, it’s all about those intangibles that can take you further than expected.”
