His performance was the talk of the town, igniting conversations about his future in professional sports—specifically, a potential switch to Australian Rules Football after his basketball career wraps up.

When speaking about his passion for AFL, Daniels expressed a deep-seated desire to lace up his footy boots and run out on the oval, once he hangs up his basketball sneakers.

With him averaging incredible stats of over 3 steals per game this season, it’s clear that his tenacity transcends the average rookie experience. Atlanta fans are absolutely buzzing over his talent, and many are now questioning how high his ceiling truly is in the sport.

Interesting fact: Dyson Daniels was drafted in 2022 and is already making waves in NBA history with his performances—the first of many chapters yet to be written!
