Australians in the NBA - Daniels reportedly traded

Another Australian is on the move in the NBA, with former first-round pick Dyson Daniels headed to the Atlanta Hawks, according to reports from ESPN.

The 21-year-old spent two seasons at the New Orleans Pelicans, where he averaged 5.8 points, 3.9 rebounds and 2.7 assists a game in his most recent campaign.

Daniels follows fellow Boomer Josh Giddey in changing teams in the off-season, with the latter landing at the Chicago Bulls via a trade.

Dejounte Murray heads to New Orleans as part of the Daniels deal, with the Hawks also acquiring Larry Nance Jr., E.J. Liddell and two first-round picks.

Daniels was recently named among the Australian Boomers’ 17-man training squad for the Paris Olympics, which will play games against China in Melbourne this week.

New Orleans is sending Dyson Daniels to Atlanta as well, sources said. https://t.co/MgzfZmW3Aq
