The Lakers II have the right to be a star in the backcourt of the former Heat II, but he is suspected to have suffered serious injuries?

The South Bay Lakers, a NBA Development League team of the Los Angeles Lakers, officially announced that the team has obtained the NBA Development League ownership of backcourt players Caleb Daniels and Michael Devoe in a three-party transaction. In order to complete the deal, the Lakers also sent the NBA Development League ownership of inside player Alex Fudge to Sioux Fox Tyranny, a NBA Development League team of the Miami Heat.

Among them, Daniels was born in May 1999, is 26 years old, 193cm tall and 95kg. He is the undraft in the 2023 NBA Draft. Daniels has played in the NBA Summer League multiple times in the past few seasons, but has never received a formal contract from an NBA team and has never appeared in the NBA Summer League. In the past two seasons, he has played for Sioux Fox. His performance in the NBA Development League is quite average, and he can still play a good effect on the offensive end. His performance on the defensive end is also average, and he is a good 3D type backcourt player.

In the NBA Development League last season, Daniels made a total of 50 appearances, averaging 28.2 minutes per game, averaging 10.8 points, 6.1 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.4 blocks, and 1.1 turnovers and 2.6 fouls. His shooting percentage was 55.4%, three-point shooting percentage was 32.6%, and free throw shooting percentage was 71.4%. After the NBA Development League season, Daniels joined the Puerto Rico League team Telenet BC Oostende. He made a total of 18 appearances in the Puerto Rico League, averaging 26.3 minutes per game, averaging 13.8 points, 4.6 rebounds, 0.9 steals and 0.4 blocks, and 1.6 turnovers and 3 fouls. He shot 48.5% from the field, 41.7% from three-pointers and 80.8% from free throws.

Previously, Daniels also represented the Nets in the NBA Summer League. He played 5 games in the summer league, averaging 21.3 minutes per game, averaging 8 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal, as well as 0.8 turnovers and 3.2 fouls, shooting percentage of 42.4%, three-point shooting percentage of 37.5%, and free throw shooting percentage of 85.7%. Daniels can still play a certain role in the NBA Development League and Puerto Rico League last season, and in the previous NBA Summer League, and he can also provide certain help and support to the team on both offense and defense. But on the other hand, Daniels is also a 26-year-old player after all, and he still has no way to perform at the dominant level in low-level games, which also shows that his potential may be relatively limited. On the other hand, Daniels is suspected to have suffered a serious knee injury in the previous summer league, which will greatly affect his performance in the new season. I don't know how the situation will develop next.
