Daniels found himself all over the NBA during the 2014-15 season, as after signing a two-year deal with the Rockets, he was traded to the Timberwolves in December and then traded once again in to the Hornets in February. In all, Daniels played in just 11 games for Charlotte and 47 total. In his 11 games with the Hornets, Daniels didn't make too significant of an impact, but proved his effectiveness as an outside shooter, shooting nearly 46 percent from behind the arc.

Analysis:

Daniels' effectiveness in the NBA does not go far beyond his three-point shooting. He is a specialist in that area and doesn't have much to offer inside the arc. He didn't play much throughout his second NBA season until the very end when, with the Hornets completely out of the playoff picture, Daniels got more run on the court. In the final four games of the season, Daniels played an average of 26 minutes, and in that time, averaged 14.0 points, including a career-high 24 points in the regular-season finale, on 19-of-44 shooting (43 percent) from the field and 12-of-26 shooting (46 percent) from behind the arc. For Daniels, the 2015-16 season will be his final season under contract and he will need to impress the league that he is worth another contract while he still has the opportunity. That, however, will not be easy, as Daniels will be fighting for minutes at a shooting guard position that includes Lance Stephenson, Gerald Henderson and P.J. Hairston.
