Dyson Daniels · Although tempting to fire up a shot in your first NBA minutes, Dyson Daniels instead opts for the more unselfish route. The eighth overall selection in the draft proves immediately helpful to his new New Orleans Pelicans teammates, coming around a screen and driving into the lane against the Brooklyn Nets. Rather than force the issue against multiple defenders, Daniels showcases his distributing ability by dropping off an over-the-shoulder flick to Larry Nance Jr. for a jumper in the paint. Daniels picked up two assists in three minutes, leaving his mark on the Pelicans’ 130-108 season-opening victory on October 19, 2022. · State of Mint · State of Mint
