Anybody have better highlight videos or intel on this guy? Videos I have seen leave a lot to be desired.

Don’t think there’s going to be a highlight video that makes you say wow, have to hope he’s a stretch forward who can shoot 3’s and alter shots, at least until he bulks up. We need depth guys for the next couple seasons.

2020 Basketball Without Borders: Josh Giddey, Tamuri Wigness and Blake Jones Q&A

Six Australians were among the 64 boys and girls at the 2020 Basketball Without Borders (BWB) Global Camp. The three-day camp, from 14-16 February, was held in Chicago as part of the the NBA All-Star Weekend. The Australian contingent wasn't there to just make up the numbers. Victorian point...

I was more so looking for a video that makes him actually look 6 foot 9 lol.

@By George. @sleeperpick not sure you guys saw the video in the first post but I think he dunks in it and it’s probably the best I’ve seen.

 

[Falco]

At least he’s tall

 

[GreenLantern]

No point judging based on this. If KE and staff see something in him, let's see before we get our undies all bunched up

Well Coach did say he wanted to run the Davidson offense...

Can’t imagine NBA Global Academy has many stiffs — the kid probably has a lot more game than is available on video

Same team as the ‘22 guard you’ve been salivating over isn’t it?

I think so. Tomlinson was definitely recruiting Daniels for Colorado

He definitely seems to play smaller than his size. I don’t see him being an big contributor out of the gate, but averaging 31 and 18 is nothing to sneeze at regardless of the competition. I’m definitely intrigued.

 

[gmulion]

Bigs take longer to develop. Just look at Oduro. I like his height, shooting touch and the academy he is coming from.

 

[gmujim92]

Good to have a couple young guys in the 21 class to develop up front along with Malik. Not everyone will, or should, play major minutes right away.

Again I’m not complaining in the slightest. He was ranked higher in country than Amzil who came in last year mid season for Dayton and was the best freshman in the conference for two months. Amzil and the other dude going pro ranked ahead of him have so much more good tape. Promise you I’m not being negative just surprised at the god awful tape for the number 2 in the country rated player.

He looks different heights in that video not sure how much time past in the highlights. I don’t see him being 6’9 in any of it though. Looking forward to what KE and staff can do with him.

Yeah the highlights are pretty mediocre-lights. But like everyone on here, I'm trusting English and crew.
