2025 Fantasy Outlook
Daniels 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 four-year, $100 million rookie contract extension with the Hawks in October 2025. 
Netting four-year extension
Daniels (rest) agreed to a four-year, $100 million rookie contract extension with the Hawks on Monday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Daniels is coming off a breakout year in 2024-25, a campaign in which he was named the NBA's Most Improved Player of the Year. The swingman also made first-team All-Defense, leading the league with 3.0 steals per game over 76 regular-season appearances. Daniels will once again be tasked with supplying disruptive defense for the Hawks on a nightly basis in 2025-26 and beyond.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
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
Minimal progress in extension talks
The Hawks and Daniels haven't made much progress regarding a rookie-scale extension before Monday's deadline, according to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype.
ANALYSIS
Daniels and his agent, Daniel Moldovan, are asking for an extension valued at $150 million over five years, but the Hawks' offer is around $115 million over the same period. It's unclear if the roster moves made by the Hawks in the offseason, such as adding Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Luke Kennard, could cut into Daniels' playing time in 2025-26, but the chances of Daniels signing an extension with Atlanta before the Oct. 20 deadline don't seem very high.
