Tiel Daniels started 32 games for Colorado State last season, but he did not always finish them. Head coach Larry Eustachy would often go with John Gillon or Gian Clavell to close out games instead.
Daniels’ 43.6 percent free throw percentage was a problem. And he knew it. So when the season ended, he took two weeks off to recover, and then got to work.
“I got in the gym, and I just made my mind up that I’m better than 42 percent, or whatever it was,” Daniels said.
