Due to the short season there, this is probably a "make good" situation where he can earn some money (without going too far outside his cultural comfort zone), then return to the lower pay but better coaching/competition and more direct team supervision of the D-League.

The format was an unqualified success last year in Sydney with Perth Wildcats claiming the Cup and their star forward James Ennis winning the Borner Medal.
Ennis subsequently went on to be in the league’s All Star Five and led Perth to the championship before being signed by the NBA’s Miami Heat.
He has set a high bar for new Wildcats import DeAndre Daniels, who joins Perth after being drafted at 37 by the Toronto Raptors this year.
“Everyone’s different, your players are different … He’s not James (Ennis), we don’t want him to be James we want him to be ‘Dre (DeAndre), and we want ‘Dre to give us what he’s good at,” Wildcats managing director Nick Marvin said.
DeAndre shoots at the basket.
Daniels is good at dunking and at 206cm, will present match-up problems for most of the NBL’s small forwards.Last edited by godkingleonidas; Thu Aug 28, 2014, 02:31 AM.

Daniels underwent surgery today to remove a bonespur from his elbow:
"Perth Wildcats star import DeAndre Daniels has undergone surgery to remove a small bone fragment from his right elbow.
The injury was revealed during the Wildcats initial screening process of its new players.
With the 2014/15 NBL season more than five weeks away, the club opted to have the joint repaired surgically rather than preventatively maintain the issue throughout the season.
This will allow Daniels to fully develop as a player and give the Perth Wildcats the best possible chance of winning back-to-back Championships.
The 22-year-old is expected to be discharged from hospital later today.
Daniels will re-join his teammates in the next week and begin the rehabilitation process, which is expected to take four to six weeks."

Will possibly miss the first few weeks of the season, but should still get lots of run in Perth.
