Dyson Daniels didn’t have a great 2024 Paris Olympics. But he has been very good during the 2024-2025 NBA season and is my favorite breakout player of the year. I think Daniels has a chance to be the best NBA player from Australia. He has the defensive hustle of Patty Mills and the length and athleticism of Ben Simmons. If he keeps working on his offensive skills, he can become a combination of Patty Mills, Ben Simmons, and Josh Giddey.
