K.J. McDaniels NBA Draft Scouting Report

6-6 – Small Forward – Clemson

An elite defender with a vastly improved offensive game.

Pros
One of the best defenders in college basketball. Has exceptional instincts on defense and great timing as a shot blocker. Gets a lot of steals and can guard the full length of the floor. A true NBA level athlete who can sky above the rim, hold his own in the paint and guard multiple positions.

Has a much improved outside shot and has become a very good free throw shooter. Takes it to the rim well and is a great finisher.

Plays with a lot of passion and intensity and doesn’t shy away from the big moments.

Cons
Still not a great three point shooter and has work to do on his ball handling.

Projection: mid first to early second round pick in the 2014 NBA Draft
