No, that's not quite right. The first thing you notice is that he's here, again, like he has been most every day since before the season even ended. First it was rehab, then strength and conditioning work, then on-court drills, and now a little bit of everything.

Quote:

"I feel like it's time," he said. "I've been through a lot, from personal issues to coaching changes to injuries to whatever the case might be. It's time for me to put together a full year, go through things and take it all in stride. … I'm very excited. I haven't really had a season where I've come in feeling close to 100 percent."

Quote:

"What he has shown me, more than anything else, is dedication to this organization by being here on a regular basis to make sure he's going to come into training camp healthy, conditioned and focused," O'Brien said. "Anybody that has spent the consistent amount of time that Marquis has spent here really is someone that you're anxious to coach and you're anxious to have on the team. I think he's going to have a real good year.

"He's made for an up-tempo attack. Not having Marquis at the end of the season really hurt this franchise. You can't control injuries but if we can keep him healthy, he'll be -- as a result of his dedication to his body -- a major, major factor for us."

Quote:

"I like Coach O'Brien's philosophy of getting the ball up court in 3 seconds," Daniels said. "A lot of things can happen. Even the halfcourt offense is open with a lot of ball movement and player movement and that fits into my game so hopefully I can come out and have a good year this year."

Quote:

"I haven't really felt this way since my rookie year. Coming in from my rookie year I tore two ligaments in my ankle, then after that year I had my hamstring problems and my knee problems. Thank God I got here with (trainer) Josh (Corbeil) and (assistant trainer) Carl (Eaton) and (strength and conditioning coach) Shawn (Windle) in the weight room; they've been doing tremendous work for me.

Quote:

Daniels finished his rookie season in Dallas by averaging 14.0 points, 4.8 rebounds and 3.8 assists in the final 24 games but finished the season with torn ankle ligaments. His second season was interrupted first by an appendectomy, and then by a left-ankle injury. Just as he got on a roll in '05-06, averaging 17.2 points in a nine-game span, Daniels suffered a sprained neck that ultimately cost him 16 games. He fell out of favor with Mavs coach Avery Johnson and was dealt to the Pacers for Austin Croshere.

Stanko Barac with a 5-year contract with Tau Ceramica? Wow, seems that Pacers are REALLY thinking long-plan with him...

I've always been a fan of 'Quis's game - it'd be a shame if he never got to show what he can do.

**PaCeRhOLiC** · 08-21-2007, 12:48 PM

I also like Daniels, my only hope is that he overcomes his injury problems, and has a strong season this fall, but then again we seem more like a rehab clinic and not a basketball team, so I'm not really too sure about that...One can only hope though...

**Knick_Killer31** · 08-21-2007, 11:20 PM

I really like this guy but he just hasn't done anything for me. He has a lot of injury problems and he is really inconsistent. I really do hope this can be a break-out season for Daniels but one can only hope.

Dont like him. Too injured, too inconsistant, and Im think he's been involved in every major "incident" with Jackson/Tinsley since he arrived.
