That being said, he is a very athletic wing player that has made quite a few highlights throughout his basketball career. He has seen inconsistent playing time so far this year with the 76ers, but has still carved out a role where he is on the court nearly every night. McDaniels made yet another highlight this evening against the Golden State Warriors.

Philadelphia is currently sitting at 12-40 on the season, and there hasn’t been much for their fans to cheer about. They have had occasional wins and big plays, but they are few and far between.

McDaniels gave the fan base something to cheer about tonight with a nasty alley-oop throw down off of a beautiful pass from himself. It was a work of beauty, and it couldn’t have been set up any better than it was.

Take a look at the alley-oop by McDaniels from McDaniels for yourself:

Needless to say, the future is very bright for McDaniels. He is going to be a very good role player for the 76ers moving forward in his career, and has the potential to become an above average player on both sides of the floor.
