2025 Fantasy Outlook
Dyson was the 2024-25 steals leader and Most Improved Player. After two seasons struggling to find a role with the Pelicans, he was dealt to the Hawks, who sent back Dejounte Murray. Daniels' defensive potential was able to shine through next to Trae Young, with the former averaging a league-high 3.0 steals per game, not to mention a solid 0.7 blocks. He also made strides offensively, becoming a better shooter from the field and averaging 14.1 points and 1.1 threes on 49/34/59 shooting with 5.9 rebounds and 4.4 assists in 33.8 minutes. Despite the massive boost last season, 2025-26 has the potential to be a plateau year. Realistically, can Daniels improve on his steal numbers? This century, he owns the highest average for a season, while the highest average since the three-point line was introduced is 3.7, set by Alvin Robertson in 1986. Plus, the Hawks retooled in the offseason, adding Kristaps Porzingis and Nickeil Alexander-Walker. A healthy year of Jalen Johnson and improvement from Zaccharie Risacher could also take offensive responsibility away from Daniels - who was never billed as a strong offensive prospect in the first place. In fantasy drafts, Daniels still deserves to be in consideration around picks 30-40, but there's probably a hard cap on his potential. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a two-year, $11.29 million contract with the Pelicans in July of 2022. Pelicans exercised $6.06 million team option for 2024-25 in October of 2023. Traded to the Pelicans in July of 2024. Hawks exercised $7.71 million team option for 2025-26 in October of 2024. 
Double-doubles in loss
Daniels finished Friday's 123-114 overtime Play-In Game loss to the Heat with 11 points (5-13 FG, 1-2 3Pt), 10 rebounds, four assists and three steals across 44 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Daniels posted a double-double in both of the Hawks' losses during the Play-In Tournament. The 22-year-old guard enjoyed a breakout 2024-25 campaign, averaging 14.1 points, 5.9 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 3.0 steals in 33.8 minutes across 76 regular-season appearances. Not only did Daniels lead the league in steals per game by a wide margin, but his 3.0 swipes per contest ranks 10th in NBA history for a single season.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2023
2022
Daniels was selected with the No. 8 overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft, but he has struggled to find consistent minutes so far in his career, first due to injury and then due to an influx of win-now talent on New Orleans' roster. He was dealt to the Hawks in the trade that sent Dejounte Murray to the Pelicans, and while Daniels is primed to come off the bench to start his Atlanta tenure, there's a chance he might be in line to see more minutes than what he saw with the Pelicans. To note, Daniels averaged just 22.3 minutes per game for the Pelicans in 2023-24, averaging 5.8 points, 3.9 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.4 steals per game while starting 16 of his 61 appearances. His fit is a bit questionable next to Trae Young, and the fact that he's yet to prove himself in The Association suggests Daniels should be left on waivers in most drafts outside of the very deep formats. Even in those unlikely scenarios, he's not expected to have a lot of upside as a backup guard who's shot 31.3 percent from three-point range in his NBA career.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Candidate to win two awards
Daniels is among the three finalists for the Defensive Player of the Year and Most Improved Player of the Year awards.
ANALYSIS
Daniels is one of two players who might win more than one end-of-season award, with Nikola Jokic being the other. Daniels certainly has the credentials for the DPOY award, as he averaged a league-leading 3.0 steals per game. However, he also has a strong case to win the Most Improved Player of the Year award. After averaging 5.8 points per game in 2023-24 while starting in 16 of his 61 appearances for the Pelicans, Daniels furnished 14.1 points, 5.9 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 3.0 steals per contest with the Hawks in 2024-25 while starting in 76 regular-season appearances.
