Back when the Houston Rockets traded with the 76ers for KJ McDaniels in February of 2015, perhaps no one was more excited than myself.
That fledgling 76ers team ended up finishing a miserable (18-64) and you could always count on seeing some low lights when you turned on Sports Center. However, the one bright spot was watching KJ McDaniels. To wit, McDaniels would be spotted soaring up and rejecting shots via chase down blocks or slamming the rack with tremendous dunks.
When Daryl Morey made the trade I can still remember thinking to myself “this guy is going to be a steal, just wait.
