DraftExpress.com ranks McDaniels as the 20th-best overall draft prospect. Several NBA scouts told Yahoo Sports that he could be selected anywhere from late first round to early second round. One NBA scout said McDaniels would be a definite first-round pick next year if he were to stay at Clemson for his senior season.
McDaniels had a breakout season at Clemson averaging 17.1 points per gave and 7.1 rebounds per game for the Tigers last season. McDaniels departure will leave a giant hole for Brad Brownell and staff to fill.
