Derrick Daniels brings a sturdy, rebounding-first forward profile to Coppin State
Daniels is a physical, high-motor forward whose best calling card is his rebounding and dependable interior production; at Ranger College in the 2024-25 season, he averaged 10.4 points, 7.3 rebounds, and 2.3 assists while helping his team win 17 games, and he was a second-team all-conference pick as a freshman after averaging 8.4 points and 6.8 rebounds. He looks like a fit for a team that values toughness, consistency, and effort plays over flash, though his current Coppin State production has been modest so far, so the appeal is more about his glue-guy potential than star scoring.
