DeAndre Daniels

Didn't the Raptors have a "screening" (medicals) process?

Hmm...to answer myself...maybe not since he has not technically signed a contract here.

Hopefully he recovers fully!

Didn't the Raptors have a "screening" (medicals) process?

Hmm...to answer myself...maybe not since he has not technically signed a contract here.

Since winning a championship at UConn two things have happened:

1: he's worked out at a lot of per-draft workouts, combines & played at LVSL. he also worked out with Alex McKechnie and the other Raptors rookies. Finally, he's been practicing with the Wildcats since his arrival in Perth.
2. At no point did anyone detect the bone spur until He signed with the Wildcats.

I'm glad to hear that the injury isn't career threatening and was discovered early enough so as not to be aggravated. I wish him a speedy recovery, an injury-free season and a lot of success.

High-profile Perth Wildcats import DeAndre Daniels has undergone surgery to halt significant deterioration in his eyesight.

The NBA prospect is expected to make a gradual recovery during the next month and could return to the practice court as early as next week.

Wildcats medical staff detected the impairment, caused by a condition known as keratoconus, during player screenings last month.

Only Daniels' near vision has been affected, causing him trouble when reading and looking at screens in close range.

The 22-year-old had surgery last week and his eyes are still extremely sensitive to light.

But Wildcats managing director Nick Marvin said Daniels was expected to be available for the opening game of the NBL season, at home to New Zealand, on October 10.

"It doesn't affect his basketball and, in fact, he didn't realise he had this condition because it didn't affect his play," Marvin said.

"He's played a whole year at the University of Connecticut and won an NCAA championship with this situation.

"He's been to 14 NBA clubs for try-outs, but the effect on his playing is so minimal that nobody has picked it up."

Seems like a nice tidy stat line, especially knowing he his still just coming off surgery.

Does Daniels remind anyone else as younger jordan Hamilton? Both shooters who have similar measurements and both were drafted by Masai.
