Daniels had spent the past season honing his skills with the NBA G-League Ignite.
He said he can’t wait to get to work to help the Pelicans improve on their playoff run from this past season.
“That’s huge, they made a really big step last year making the playoffs and did well,” he said.
“Joining this team, I can help them do better in the playoffs. I’m a winner, I hate losing so I’ll do whatever they need and I can definitely step into some roles and contribute straight away.
“I am just so happy … to be a Pelican, there’s no better place. I can’t wait to get to work. This is crazy.”
