Dash Daniels debut and South East Melbourne Phoenix NBL27
Overview
In the NBL27 season opener, the South East Melbourne Phoenix defeated the Perth Wildcats by 21 points at RAC Arena. The match featured a standout performance by 18-year-old debutant Dash Daniels, who recorded 24 points and 12 rebounds. Phoenix coach Josh King described Daniels as a “menace on defence” who integrates well into the team’s fast-paced system.
Following the victory, Daniels, an NBL Next Star, is preparing to face his former team, Melbourne United. He moved to the Phoenix to secure more consistent playing time after a rookie season with United. Daniels credited his recent development to off-season training with NBA shooting coach Wes Matthews and noted the challenge of managing public scrutiny regarding his family’s basketball legacy.
