going #24 overall to the Charlotte Hornets.

The Hornets are invested in small forward Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, the second pick in the 2012 draft. If the small forward's perimeter shooting doesn't improve, though, his future would be murky. McDaniels is a spectacular athlete with a wingspan (6-foot-11¼) that will make him a feared weak-side shot blocker. McDaniels was one of the most improved players in college basketball last season, when he averaged 17.1 points, 7.1 rebounds and 2.8 blocks.
