Traded from the Hornets to the Sixers last winter, Jalen McDaniels only stayed a few months in Pennsylvania, because he was recruited this summer by the Raptors for two years and $9.3 million.
Without hiding, he admits that his choice was notably motivated by the too weak proposal from Philly’s leaders, coming out of the best exercise of his young career (9.4 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.0 interceptions on average).
“ It was an offer at least “, revealed the 25-year-old winger, regarding negotiations with Philadelphia. “ I don’t even know what happened. I thought [que je reviendrais aux Sixers]. I guess this was a better opportunity. A team wanted me, gave me money, so I had to accept the offer. »
The leaders of Toronto were therefore more generous with Jalen McDaniels, who did not hesitate to fly to Canada to continue his adventure in the NBA. Without forgetting, however, his short stint with the Sixers (6.7 points and 3.2 rebounds on average in 24 games), initially tarnished by physical problems.
“ It was fun to be on the court with superstars like [Joel Embiid et James Harden]. It was just a whole different vibe. [que ce qu’il avait connu auparavant] », Confides the brother of Jaden McDaniels, who is however struggling to show his advantage with the Raptors.
Last night, Jalen McDaniels only played 3 minutes against Philadelphia, without recording any statistics, after playing 16 then 18 minutes in the first two games (without scoring more).
