Small Forward

K.J. McDaniels

McDaniels could develop into one of the best specialist wings in this class. The 21-year-old is startlingly athletic and has a real chance to carve out a niche for himself as a professional. McDaniels has the potential to be able to outrun and out-jump many current NBA wings, making him a guy who could slot into a rotation immediately.

McDaniels is an outstanding dunker, but that’s not the only string to his bow. The Alabama native is a capable shooter, with plenty of room still to improve, while McDaniels length will make him a nuisance on the defensive end too. If the Clippers are looking for a “3-and-D” guy, they need look no further than McDaniels.

Alternate options include: Jerami Grant, Glenn Robinson III
