Back then This young man is a beast with a lot potential, then traded to rockets, hardly played and somehow lost his touch and confidence.. and now become a journeyman.. sad story
I Already know that the Lakers are going to jump at the first chance to get this guy. Russell, Randle, Clarkson, Brown, Black, and Upshaw. Great young core to rebuild the Lakers with. Sorry Hibbert and Kobe. #JustKeepingItReal #GoLakers
matt logan dream philly team PG - MCW SG - McDaniels SF - Ben Simmons PF - Okafor/Noel C - Embiid Shooting might be a problem but it would be very fun to watch
What happened to him man. He's the player from the process I most wanted to do well. He should've taken the 4 yr Hinkie special. It would've given him time to develop like Jerami Grant did
If he stayed with Houston and actually saw the court, that would be a entertaining team to see.. Starters: PG-Beverly SG-Harden SF-Ariza PF-Smith C-Howard Bench: PG-Johnson/Terry SG-McDaniels SF-Brewer PF-Jones C- Motiejūnas/Capela He should only improve, and better team chemistry will help the team overall. They could use another scorer to compliment Harden, but that player could already be on the team with McDaniels. Hopeful Rockets Fan..
Autobot713 This will be a very entertaining team indeed. Starters: PG - Lawson SG - Harden SF - Ariza PF - Motiejūnas C - Howard Bench: PG - Beverly, Terry? SG - McDaniels, Thornton SF - Brewer, Dekker PF - Jones, Harrell C - Capella, Motiejūnas
For those that say Houston was not trying to play him, they got him mid season and were trying to get him ready for playoffs but he got a broken right elbow on last game of regular season.blog.chron.com/ultimaterockets/2015/04/kj-mcdaniels-injury-update-non-displaced-right-elbow-fracture/
If this guy is a free agent I hope he comes to the Spurs. He has exactly what they need. Athleticism, hustle, heart. I think he'd be a good pick up for the Spurs.
K.J. McDaniels signing with the Rockets!! The deal will be either a 3 yrs/15 millions or 4yrs/20 millions....just announce by several sources and discussion is taking place now. K.J. will be a 2 behind James Harden. We finally signed our guy!! And I'm estastic to see him play for the Rockets and display his crowd-pleasing athelicism and defense. He fits the Rockets perfect in the transition game and has the ability to get to the rim and Playa above the rim. Yeaahhh boooyyy!!
You were right. signed him to 3 year/10 million dollar deal. We found ourselves a younger Gerald Green. Can't wait to watch him rock rims with Dwight in Houston.
James Gatt Thornton, most likely - a veteran guy with proven scoring ability. K.J. will get PT behind either Harden or Ariza. Thornton will play behind either Beverley/Lawson or Harden...Maybe even Ariza in small-ball setting.
xxcj26 xxcj26 He's a small forward / shooting guard who can't shoot. He a dunker and a slasher the sixers have enough dunkers and slashers like jeramy grant, robert covington, jakari samson, plus we got isaiah cannon who can really shoot the 3 and houston was stupid to trade him ish smith lol.
Donnymac ...Although Houston lost J Smith...But we got what we wanted...and that's a point guard that can give the Rockets more scoring + passing....That person is no other than Ty Lawson...Despite of his troubles off the court, he's still that guy that can fit in Houston rotation...So, we haven't lost a step at all....RED Nation all day everyday... Go Rockets!!!
mikexcanxjerk KJ: BEtter ball handler,better man on man defender,better shot blocker,Stronger,both are terrible 3pt shooters and believe it or not KJ shot a higher 3pt percentage than Brewer.KJ was resigned to be the FUTURE.Brewer will get a bulk of the minutes but to me the real battle is between KJ and Thornton to give Harden some rest.
Miltonman100 Brewer is the better 3-point shooter since joining the Rockets. KJ is undetermined with his 3-point shooting for the Rockets since he did not play much. Even if you calculate KJ's 3-point shooting from Philly with Brewer's 3-point shooting for Rockets in regular season, KJ made 43 of 147 and Brewer made 55 of 194. We will never know if KJ would have made more shots than Brewer and if it would have taken less or more attempts.
Mikel Moon Oh yeah i agree.Id trust Brewer over KJ shooting threes for NOW but Brewer in Minnesota was just horrible from 3 he was shooting like 19%.One thing I say the Rockets do well is that they put players in position to succeed the most.Brewer was ON FIRE when he came to Houston,Josh Efficiency went up.I expect growth from KJ next season
Why would he want to go to the sorry ass Lakers when he's on a team contending for a Championship? As athletic as McDaniels is, Kobe won't let him see the light of day on the Lakers. Nobody want to go to the Lakers as long as kobe selfish ass is there. He's fit as a Rockets than wearing that gay-punk color of yellow and purple. Better go look at some 3rd tier players because no well-known player wants to play for the Lakers. And lol @ Roy Hibbert. Can't way for Howard to dominate him.
He can get a lot of playing time with the Lakers, much like how Wes Johnson was used last year. KJ got stuck behind Trevor Ariza and Corey Brewer last year and was not able to follow through his performance with Philly.
Maurice Mallari Wrong! K.J. is a 2. And can play S.F. but he's a 2. And J.Terry was the 2 behind Harden. Plus, he came to late in the season to get him in the rotation...even though I think McHale should have incorporated him because he's better than Brewer. Next season, since J.Terry signing with the Mavs, K.J. could be the backup to Harden to get play time. Brewer is a S.F. so he back up Ariza.
Malik B Houston contending for a championship? i agree Lakers sucks for now but with a young team with lots of potential is better than Houston Chokers... Aren't you glad you have Ariza?
Ron-Ron Worldpeace And what are the Lakers?? So being a "young team" is enticing to K.J.? Boy, shut up. Smh. If that's the case he'd be better off staying with the Sixers as their squad looks way more promising than the Lakers. The Lakers got a bunch of girly men. Don't even mention the Lakers with my Rox, dude. The Lakers SUCKS and no big FAs want to go there ----- how many misses did the Lakers have? Let's see, D.Howard, Carmelo Anthony, LaMarcus Aldridge, Greg Monroe. You suck, fool! My Rox got FAs wanting to coming here. And some of our own FAs turned down bigger money elsewhere to take a discount to play for my Rox. They wouldn't do that for the Lakers even if their storied history which is the PAST! K.J. want to play for a contender and my Rox are in Championship mode. Even the Warriors are saying the Rockets got deeper and more stacked now that we added bench pieces instead big name FAs which we don't need. K.J. looks better coming off the bench for Harden and playing with a unit of C. Capela, J. Smith, Brewer, K.J. and P. Beverley. The Lakers don't even have a starting 5 that's better than our second unit. So shut and sit down. Your Lakers are still a bottom-feeder team.
He should have went to Denver. He won't get much playing time behind harden but he went to Denver he would fit right in and be part of a rebuilding team and have decent pt

He's got a nice looking stroke and is a gifted athlete, some of his dunks and blocks are unbelievable, hope he gets a chance to prove himself.
“Nice looking stroke” pause
Back then This young man is a beast with a lot potential, then traded to rockets, hardly played and somehow lost his touch and confidence.. and now become a journeyman.. sad story
God I hope he resigns with the rockets. So much potential. I'm pretty sure the rockets aren't playing him just to limit his demand in free agency.
Yeah he showed so much potential
Yeah, morey is trying to hide his talent but I'm sure teams already have eyes on him
I think hes replacing brewer
The sixers are gonna try to sign him again this offseason.
Josh Bowerman No.
Cant believe this guy is playing in the PBA dirt-league
shame on you
This kid is super underrated
nice kid with a lot of potential, happy to see him growing in the following seasons
Nahh.
I WISH he was a Pelican. He is so dope to me, madd potential.
He'd be perfect for the Pelican or the Grizzlies.
KJ & Tony Wroten were my favorite players during the Sixers early process era.
This kid is a stud. I hope my lakers find away to pray him from Houston. He would fit right in with our kids.
*Pry
Philly and houston did this man dirty... He is an amazing defender.
this is the next reinforcement of TNT ..bring back the glory of tnt..
this guy is gifted
KJ has some hops, he's got a bright future
LMAO

Formosa dreamers love you!!!
23-64 in that Dallas game, what a freaking score that is.
The only question I have about his game is,
Can he dunk?
If he stayed with Houston and actually saw the court, that would be a entertaining team to see..
Starters:
PG-Beverly
SG-Harden
SF-Ariza
PF-Smith
C-Howard
Bench:
PG-Johnson/Terry
SG-McDaniels
SF-Brewer
PF-Jones
C- Motiejūnas/Capela
He should only improve, and better team chemistry will help the team overall. They could use another scorer to compliment Harden, but that player could already be on the team with McDaniels.
Hopeful Rockets Fan..
Dmo will start over smith i guarantee you.If he doesnt i will execute mchale
Autobot713 smiths gone and Marcus thornton in dmo is a lot better then smith anyways
James Gatt I agree
Autobot713 Ty Lawson ...
Autobot713 This will be a very entertaining team indeed.

Omar Martinez People are morons, especially sports "experts" who squawk nonsense like that.
If this guy is a free agent I hope he comes to the Spurs. He has exactly what they need. Athleticism, hustle, heart. I think he'd be a good pick up for the Spurs.
numberonemetallicafa spurs wont want him if he is doing flahy dunks
Gregg Popovich said they were going after athleticism during the off season. Tho you're right. They go for I.Q over flashy
numberonemetallicafa I do know 1 team that will neeed him tho the suns will need his energy and athticsem
You know when you're right. You're right. I miss the good ole rivalry the Spurs and Sun's had in the mid 2000's
K.J. McDaniels signing with the Rockets!! The deal will be either a 3 yrs/15 millions or 4yrs/20 millions....just announce by several sources and discussion is taking place now.

Please don't play with my emotions Malik...we need this guy
You were right. signed him to 3 year/10 million dollar deal. We found ourselves a younger Gerald Green. Can't wait to watch him rock rims with Dwight in Houston.
Malik B who will get more playing time Marcus thornton or kj ?
Malik B 3 for 10, steal.
James Gatt Thornton, most likely - a veteran guy with proven scoring ability. K.J. will get PT behind either Harden or Ariza. Thornton will play behind either Beverley/Lawson or Harden...Maybe even Ariza in small-ball setting.
PBA MEMES BRING ME HERE😂
Dear Sixers, if you could stop getting rid of our best players it would be much appreciated.
Thank you,
All sixers fans
Shut up the sixers have enough dunkers that play the 3 position like. jakari samson, Robert Covington, Jerami grant,
lol
Kj mcdaniels is a shooting guard
xxcj26 xxcj26 He's a small forward / shooting guard who can't shoot. He a dunker and a slasher the sixers have enough dunkers and slashers like jeramy grant, robert covington, jakari samson, plus we got isaiah cannon who can really shoot the 3 and houston was stupid to trade him ish smith lol.
TheBossNMD888 they wanted to keep him but mcdaniels said he didn't want to be in philly.
Welcome to Okc 🙏🙏
He really has potential to develop a jumper with the rockets. They have to make 200 3s each practice. I can really see him doing what josh Smith did
shouldve played the dunk contest. looks like gerald green type of player
Beast in waiting 💯
3 Years Later and I'm still salty that the management traded away our best players, our future, IN THE SAME DAY
Donnymac ...Although Houston lost J Smith...But we got what we wanted...and that's a point guard that can give the Rockets more scoring + passing....That person is no other than Ty Lawson...Despite of his troubles off the court, he's still that guy that can fit in Houston rotation...So, we haven't lost a step at all....RED Nation all day everyday...

Whose visited this youtube because of Tnt katropa next conference import.. :)
glad to hv him back on the rockets😁
Lakers should sign this kid ASAP.
TNT💗
kinda reminds me of a young d rose, but even more polyvalent and confident.
i dont see any highlights of KJ in Houston...theyre more focus to TyLawson
Glad hes staying in Houston.Has potential to be a legit 2way wing if he can work on that jumpshot
Why do you say KG MC is better than brewer ?

OMG, all this highlights from half a season? How is he a 2nd round draft pick? And why would philly trade him?? I'm glad they did though. Go 🚀🚀🚀
His contract was up at the end of the year and he wasn't gonna resign so they traded him to get something out of it
welcome to TNT Katropa KJ 🇵🇭👌
How many blocks did he get against the raptors in that game lol
rockets better start playing him more after the last game

Yep, was traded to the Rockets where he barely gets minutes.

Hopefully better than Glenn Rice Jr, and have better patience as well!

hope he could go back 2 sixers
why did we get rid of him?
What you mean why did we get rid of him? Dose isaiah cannon ring a bell to you smdh.
Isaiah Canaan is fuckin garbo
I thought he got re-signed by houston on a multi-year contract..
purelystellar0824 He did.
Why lay it up when you can throw it down???
