"I've been a pro for several years now. I don't feel any kind of pressure, I know what I can bring to the table. I'm a great locker room guy, I'm a shooter, overall I'll help the team in any way I can."

Daniels (30, 1.93) said that he asked for some suggestions from Malcolm Delaney before joining the team: "Yeah, I spoke with Malcolm before coming here. We know each other. He told me that the physicality is different here, the game can be very intense but most importantly, you need to have a great mental approach to the game. There are some differences but in the end, the game remains the same, I know what I can do and how I can help this team."

The American shooting guard also said that he was going to bring energy to the defensive side too: "In college, I played for coach Shaka Smart, he taught us to always put a lot of pressure on the ball. Of course, the type of basketball here in Europe is different but I'll bring my energy also on the defensive end for sure."

Daniels will wear No. 30 with Milan this season.
