McDaniels is a bit of an athletic freak. He’s startlingly fast going up and down the court, and he has a colossal vertical leap. When he gets to the rim, McDaniels is capable of exploding over the top of defenders for highlight reel finishes.

This can be a real asset for his team too, as McDaniels offense can help to energize the crowd when needed. There’s probably no better fit either, than in “Lob City,” with the Clippers, for a guy who plays so explosively above the rim.
