The sixth starter is a term that has been used describing Villanova players before and it was used with Caleb Daniels this past season in a big way.
With depth not being a strength of this version of Villanova it was key that they had a starter caliber player as a sixth man and that’s exactly what Daniels was. There were games where Daniels led the team in points, minutes, and big plays.
Daniels came off the bench for 32 of his 35 games but was the fourth leading scorer at 10.3 points per game and became one of the three deadly 3-point threats for Villanova, especially from the corner.
