Daniels, a big out of the Tilton School in New Hampshire, is the #3 ranked center and checks in at #15 overall. Daniels is a massive, 6’11” center that burst onto the high school scene last winter in the MIAA. He reclassed at Tilton and has impressed this winter with an expanded offensive skill-set, including the ability to knock down threes in catch and shoot situations. He has a good set of hands, a huge catch radius, and the strength needed to score through contact around the rim. He’ll need to continue to add strength and mobility to reach his ceiling, but is as intriguing of a long-term prospect as their is in this class. Defensively, he protects by altering and blocking shots, rebounds with physicality, and initiates the break with good outlet passes.
