Through the first 11 games of the season, Daniels is averaging\u00a09.8 points, 7.2 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 2.9 steals per game, doing a little bit of everything on any given night.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“He finds so many ways to impact the game, and we’ve seen that with his defense, we’ve seen it with rebounding,” Snyder said after their win over the Wizards<\/a> last week, where Daniels collected a career-high 17 rebounds.<\/p>\n

“To get that many, you got to work hard and I think that’s kind of the thin red line that runs through everything with that, is his competitiveness.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Daniels’ 7.2 rebounds per game is a career-high, along with his\u00a0career-best 3.5 offensive rebounds per game \u2014 the best mark among guards in the league.<\/p>\n

Defensively, The Great Barrier Thief continues to live up to his nickname, leading the league in both steals\u00a0(2.9)<\/a> and deflections (5.7)<\/a>, while sitting second in\u00a0loose balls recorded (1.0)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

With his shooting still limited, Daniels is finding other ways to generate points, from the offensive glass, to creating transition opportunities for the Hawks.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As the Hawks continue to build on their defensive identity this season, Daniels’ efforts are a big reason why their sitting in the top half of the East’s playoff race.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dyson Daniels and the Atlanta Hawks are rolling after reeling off a four-game win streak to climb to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":957651,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[557],"tags":[64,63,590,85],"class_list":["post-957650","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nba","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-nba","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/957650","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=957650"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/957650\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/957651"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=957650"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=957650"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=957650"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
