Why is the hell did we pass on K.J. McDaniel?

If a team offers a two year deal, he'd end up a restricted free agent again at the end of it. He's best off to sign as big a deal money wise as he can for 3 years. Even if he signs his qualifying offer, he'd end up RFA again at the end of the year.

They can make McDaniels a restricted free agent with a one-year, $1.2 million qualifying offer — guaranteeing themselves the right to match any offer McDaniels receives from another team. If McDaniels blows up, the Sixers can match such an offer or just re-sign him into their cap space. If he doesn’t, McDaniels could just sign that $1.2 million qualifying offer and enter restricted free agency again a year later.

Any player with 3 years or less experience is a RFA so long as his team extends the QO. That's just the way it works. That's why in his case even if he signs the QO, he'll be restricted again at the end of the next season, unlike guys coming off their rookie scale deal qualifying offers.

So if they kept him, he'd be very cheap this year, but next summer he'd be an unrestricted free agent, since he would be past the three years experience range. But if they declined his option (which they did), he would hit restricted free agency last summer, meaning he would make more money, but they could match whatever long term deal he signed, giving them more guaranteed years with him in the fold. Of course, they ended up being scared off by the value of the contract, so they got neither, which is hilarious.

Those 2+2 deals are more and more common for second rounders. But their agents have started pushing guys not to accept them, even lately going so far as the McDaniels contract to allow for higher earnings more quickly.

KJ McDaniels is looking like an NBA player, and that's great. Specifically, he's looking like a younger, slightly smaller version of James Johnson. Really, it's kind of uncanny: he's an athletic blocking wing who can't shoot a lick. Johnson isn't a starter and, as good as he's been for us, he'll never be one on a permanent basis so long as he can't shoot from distance.
McDaniels, at present, doesn't project as a starter either; the reason he's starting is because the 76ers' other shooting guards are Hollis Thompson (even worse shooter and probably back in the D-League after this season) and Jason Richardson (injured, possibly career over).
He's a good young player and he'll have a decent career. It's doubtful he becomes an All-Star level player, though.
