A swingman with undetermined potential and a thrifty contract, K.J. McDaniels is the Houston Rockets best trade asset.
When K.J. McDaniels was drafted in the second round of the 2014 NBA Draft he did the unthinkable by declining a four year contract offer from the Philadelphia 76ers and signed a one year contract for $500,000.
McDaniels bet on himself. The fearless swingman wagered that he could impress NBA teams in a single season and land a long-term contract exponentially more valuable than a spendthrift four year offer from the 76ers. It worked.
