Daniel Deaver brings old-school Navy toughness with a scoring punch
Daniel Deaver is a 6-foot-8 forward whose game has long been defined by physicality, rebounding, and efficient inside scoring; in the 2022-23 season, he averaged 18.0 points and 10.5 rebounds during a six-game Navy win streak and earned Patriot League Player of the Week honors twice[4][14]. He also has a proven ceiling, including a 35-point, 16-rebound outburst against Holy Cross in 2023, which shows he can take over games when he gets rolling[5]. The fit is obvious for teams that want a tough, high-motor frontcourt player who can battle, finish, and impact winning without needing the offense built around flash.
