Daily News | Jalen McDaniels finding other ways to contribute for Sixers as his playmaking takes back seat
While he hasn't had the ball in his hands as much as he did in Charlotte, McDaniels is comfortable playing off Joel Embiid, James Harden, and Tyrese Maxey:"I feel like it's a plus."
While he doesn’t get a lot of touches, the 25-year-old from Federal Way, Wash., has shown an ability to stretch the floor. He’s made 2 of 4 three-point attempts in his first five games in a small sample size. He also made 10 of 20 field goals. And that’s a good thing because he’s largely stationed in the corner behind the three-point line or at the dunker’s spot on offense.
McDaniels also made a key defensive rebound with 9.4 seconds left to help the Sixers defeat the Memphis Grizzlies, 110-105, Thursday.
