Steals the limelight in changing surroundings | FIBA Basketball

MIES (Switzerland) – 2024 has been a breath of fresh air for Australian Dyson Daniels.

In July, he was traded to the Atlanta Hawks after two seasons playing for the New Orleans Pelicans.

A month later, he made his first appearance at the Paris Olympics and averaged 8.5 points, 5.0 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game for the Boomers.

This change of scenery seems to be having a positive effect on Daniels as he is off to a great start to the season. In particular, it has been his effort on the defensive end picking pockets and passing lanes.

He’s not slowing down on November 18 either. After getting two steals against Portland, Daniels now has 31 steals in the past 6 games. No other player has reached 30 steals this season, with the runner-up so far in that category being Jalen Williams, who has 28.

Most steals in a game this season is 7. Second most is 6, recorded on three separate occasions. All four of these cases were recorded by Dyson Daniels. He also has another game with 5 steals, meaning Daniels technically dominates the top five in this category on his own.

11 games into the season and things are looking bright for Boomer. He has nearly tripled his scoring average to 15.3 points per game. game (up from 5.8 per game), while also averaging 4.3 rebounds and 2.9 assists.

The sky seems to be the limit for the upcoming Aussie and Aussie basketball fans should be excited for the next time Daniels dons the Green and Gold.
