Buffalo’s depth-piece guard with senior experience and a hard-nosed profile
In the 2025-26 season, Daniel Shao was a senior guard for Buffalo who appeared in 2 games and logged 1.5 minutes per game, with no points or rebounds recorded[1][2][11]. The 5-foot-10 Morris Plains, N.J. native looks like a low-usage, backcourt depth option rather than a stat-stuffer, but his value comes from persistence—he stayed with the program through a redshirt-style season in 2024-25 and then earned a handful of minutes in 2025-26[1][4]. If your team wants an experienced, team-first guard who understands his role and won’t need the ball, he fits the “steady locker-room glue” mold; if you need immediate on-ball production, this isn’t that guy[1][2].
