\u201cLopez has a chance to become the NBA’s first Mexican-born first-round pick, with excellent size, guard skills and good offensive instincts,\u201d Woo said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat combination of traits produces a solid NBA baseline, and he has been efficient thus far in the NBL, shooting 51.6 per cent from the field and 41.7 per cent from three with an improved perimeter stroke.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe appeal is there as a bigger forward who can handle, pass and shoot.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lopez has averaged 10 points, 6.4 rebounds and 2 assists per game, with all his key statistics up on his NBL25 production.<\/p>\n
Melbourne United guard Daniels is currently ranked 21st, with the 17-year-old the youngest prospect in Woo\u2019s 100-player list.<\/p>\n
He has averaged 5.8 points and 2.8 rebounds in 16 minutes per game across the NBL26 campaign.<\/p>\n
\u201cDaniels has carved out an important role in the NBL, earning key minutes on a first-place Melbourne team thanks to his defensive versatility, no small feat for a player his age,\u201d Woo said.<\/p>\n
\u201cDaniels is cut from a similar cloth as his older brother, Dyson Daniels. He’s physically gifted with excellent defensive upside.\u201d<\/p>\n
The pair will be key to their teams\u2019 hopes across NBL26 before heading to the Draft in June.<\/p>\n
