==College career==
Daniels had a quiet college career until [[Auburn University]] reached the [[NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship|Sweet 16]] in the 2003 [[NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship]]. He averaged 23.3 points and 7.0 rebounds in three games, including an impressive 27-point, nine-rebound performance in a close one-point loss against the eventual national champion [[Syracuse University|Syracuse]].<ref>http://www.usatoday.com/sports/scores103/103087/20030328NCAABSYRACUSE--0nr.htm</ref>
In his four-year career at [[Auburn Tigers men's basketball|Auburn]], Daniels played 111 games, averaging 13.8 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.9 steals in 28.7 minutes per game.<ref name=stats>{{cite news|url=https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/players/marquis-daniels-1.html |title=Marquis Daniels Stats |work=Sports-Reference.com |accessdate=August 12, 2014}}</ref> In 2003, Auburn reached the [[NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship|Sweet 16]] where Daniels averaged 23.3 points and 7.0 rebounds in three games, including an impressive 27-point, nine-rebound performance in a close one-point loss against the eventual national champion [[Syracuse University|Syracuse]].<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.usatoday.com/sports/scores103/103087/20030328NCAABSYRACUSE--0nr.htm |title=Auburn vs. Syracuse |work=USAToday.com |date=March 28, 2003 |accessdate=August 12, 2014}}</ref>

He averaged 18.4 points, 6.2 [[rebound (sports term)|rebound]]s, 3.3 [[assist (basketball)|assist]]s and 2.3 steals per game as a senior,<ref name="stats" /> and was named to the All-[[Southeastern Conference|SEC]] second team as a senior and team [[Most Valuable Player|MVP]] as a sophomore, junior and senior.


==NBA Draft==
==Professional career==
Projected as a second-round pick, Daniels waited for his name to be called. The [[Dallas Mavericks|Mavericks]]' head coach [[Don Nelson]] initially planned on using their 2nd round pick to select Daniels (whom they accidentally discovered while watching game tapes of [[Josh Howard]]) but his son [[Donnie Nelson]] convinced him to trade the pick to [[Denver Nuggets|Denver]] instead and assured his father that they would get him one way or the other. As the calls started pouring in on Daniels' agent's cellphone (among the callers were [[Orlando Magic|Magic]] head coach [[Doc Rivers]]), it was later revealed that they had a gentleman's agreement with the Mavericks that his client would sign with them in the event that he did not get drafted.


===Dallas Mavericks (2003–2006)===
After a remarkable stint at the team's summer league games, Daniels was signed to a one-year, minimum contract.
After going undrafted in the [[2003 NBA draft]], Daniels joined the [[Dallas Mavericks]] for the 2003 [[NBA Summer League]] and later signed a one-year deal with the Mavericks. Daniels was mostly a third-stringer during his rookie season, used only when victory was all but sure. In the short minutes he was on the floor however, he showed flashes of brilliance. When [[Steve Nash]] was out with a stomach flu, head coach [[Don Nelson]] plugged in Daniels as the starting point guard and the rookie delivered with a near triple-double finishing with 14 points, 9 rebounds and 9 assists followed by a 16-point, 7 rebound and 8 assist game.<ref>{{cite web |title=SuperSonics vs Mavericks, March 2, 2004 |url=https://www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/200403020DAL.html |website=Basketball-Reference.com |access-date=November 13, 2024}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Mavericks vs Timberwolves, March 3, 2004 |url=https://www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/200403030MIN.html |website=Basketball Reference |access-date=November 13, 2024}}</ref>


Although his time as a starter was short, after the team played struggled with Daniels out of the starting line-up decided to bring him back and put him back in the classic ''small ball'' line-up in a 118–88 triumph over the [[Orlando Magic]] on March 28, 2004.<ref>{{cite web |title=Mavericks vs Magic, March 28, 2004 |url=https://www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/200403280ORL.html |website=Basketball Reference |access-date=November 13, 2004}}</ref> This line-up had the 6'9" [[Antoine Walker]] at [[Center (basketball)|center]] and Daniels at shooting guard, and was the permanent starting five member until their premature post-season demise. Daniels averaged 19.7 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists during that 10-game stretch.
==NBA career==
Daniels was mostly a third-stringer during his rookie season, used only when victory was all but sure. In the short minutes he was on the floor however, he showed flashes of brilliance. When Steve Nash was out with a stomach flu, Nelson plugged in Daniels as the starting point guard and the rookie delivered with a near triple-double finishing with 14 points, 9 rebounds and 9 assists followed by a 16 point, 7 rebound and 8 assist game in a loss against the T-Wolves the next night.


In July 2004, Daniels re-joined the Mavericks for the 2004 NBA Summer League and later signed a six-year, $38 million contract with the Mavericks.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.espn.com/nba/news/story?id=1833400 |title=Daniels gets six-year deal; Harris signs |publisher=ESPN |date=July 2, 2004 |access-date=August 12, 2014}}</ref>
Although his reign as a starter was cut short, Nelson grew tired of the team's lackluster play following their third-straight loss and decided to bring back the classic ''small ball'' line-up that he innovated in a 118–88 triumph over the [[Orlando Magic]]. This line-up had the 6'9" [[Antoine Walker]] at [[center (basketball)|center]] and Daniels at the two-guard position and was the permanent starting five until their post-season demise. Daniels averaged 19.7 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists during that 10-game stretch. Daniels signed a 6-year, $38-million contract with the Mavs in the 2004 off-season.


===Indiana Pacers (2006–2009)===
On July 6, 2006 Marquis Daniels was traded to the Indiana Pacers for [[Austin Croshere]].<ref>[http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=2510579 ESPN - Sources: Mavs deal Daniels for Croshere - NBA<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> The Pacers did not pick up their $7.3 million team option for Daniels in 2009, which made him a [[free agent]]. <ref>[http://www.indystar.com/article/20090626/SPORTS04/90626035/ Pacers won't pick up option on Marquis Daniels]</ref> Daniels signed with the [[Boston Celtics]] on September 1, 2009.<ref>[http://www.nba.com/2009/news/09/01/celtics.daniels.ap/index.html Celtics sign former Pacers G Marquis Daniels].

On July 12, 2006, Daniels was traded to the [[Indiana Pacers]] in exchange for [[Austin Croshere]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.insidehoops.com/croshere-daniels-071206.shtml |title=Mavs trade Marquis Daniels to Pacers for Austin Croshere |work=InsideHoops.com |date=July 12, 2006 |accessdate=August 12, 2014}}</ref>


On June 30, 2009, the Pacers announced their decision to not exercise their team option on the final year of Daniels' six-year contract, making him an unrestricted free agent.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.espn.com/nba/news/story?id=4294765 |title=Pacers won't pick up Daniels' option |publisher=ESPN |date=June 30, 2009 |access-date=August 12, 2014}}</ref>
==Tattoos==
Daniels is noted for having several tattoos inscribed on different parts of his body. The tattoos range from a detailed map of Florida that covers his entire back, a caricature of a man blowing his head off with a [[shotgun]] on his lower right arm, and [[Chinese language|Chinese]] characters on his other arm which were intended to represent his initials, but translate to [[English language|English]] as "healthy woman roof".<ref>[http://www.nytimes.com/2006/04/02/fashion/sundaystyles/02tattoos.html?pagewanted=2&_r=1]</ref>


===Boston Celtics (2009–2012)===

On February 6, 2011, while the Celtics were playing against the [[Orlando Magic]], Daniels collided with Magic guard [[Gilbert Arenas]] and suffered a bruised spinal cord. Daniels laid motionless on the floor for several minutes before being taken away on a stretcher. He gave the Boston crowd a thumbs up sign, and after arriving at a Boston Hospital, regained movement of his arms and legs.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.espn.com/boston/nba/news/story?id=6095978 |title=Marquis Daniels has bruised spine |publisher=ESPN |date=February 7, 2011 |access-date=August 12, 2014}}</ref>

Marquis Antwane Daniels (born January 7, 1981) is an American former professional basketball player. He played college basketball at Auburn University before going undrafted in the 2003 NBA draft. He played his first three years for the Dallas Mavericks before being traded to the Indiana Pacers. Daniels then signed with the Boston Celtics in 2009 and the Milwaukee Bucks in 2012.

High school career

[edit]

Daniels attended Edgewater High School in his hometown Orlando, Florida, before transferring to Mt. Zion Christian Academy for his senior year.[1]

College career

[edit]

In his four-year career at Auburn, Daniels played 111 games, averaging 13.8 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.9 steals in 28.7 minutes per game.[2] In 2003, Auburn reached the Sweet 16 where Daniels averaged 23.3 points and 7.0 rebounds in three games, including an impressive 27-point, nine-rebound performance in a close one-point loss against the eventual national champion Syracuse.[3]

Daniels graduated from Auburn University with a degree in Sociology in just three-and-a-half years. He averaged 18.4 points, 6.2 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 2.3 steals per game as a senior,[2] and was named to the All-SEC second team as a senior and team MVP as a sophomore, junior and senior.

Professional career

[edit]

Dallas Mavericks (2003–2006)

[edit]

After going undrafted in the 2003 NBA draft, Daniels joined the Dallas Mavericks for the 2003 NBA Summer League and later signed a one-year deal with the Mavericks. Daniels was mostly a third-stringer during his rookie season, used only when victory was all but sure. In the short minutes he was on the floor however, he showed flashes of brilliance. When Steve Nash was out with a stomach flu, head coach Don Nelson plugged in Daniels as the starting point guard and the rookie delivered with a near triple-double finishing with 14 points, 9 rebounds and 9 assists followed by a 16-point, 7 rebound and 8 assist game.[4][5]

Although his time as a starter was short, after the team played struggled with Daniels out of the starting line-up decided to bring him back and put him back in the classic small ball line-up in a 118–88 triumph over the Orlando Magic on March 28, 2004.[6] This line-up had the 6'9" Antoine Walker at center and Daniels at shooting guard, and was the permanent starting five member until their premature post-season demise. Daniels averaged 19.7 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists during that 10-game stretch.

In July 2004, Daniels re-joined the Mavericks for the 2004 NBA Summer League and later signed a six-year, $38 million contract with the Mavericks.[7]

Indiana Pacers (2006–2009)

[edit]

On July 12, 2006, Daniels was traded to the Indiana Pacers in exchange for Austin Croshere.[8]

On June 30, 2009, the Pacers announced their decision to not exercise their team option on the final year of Daniels' six-year contract, making him an unrestricted free agent.[9]

Boston Celtics (2009–2012)

[edit]

On September 1, 2009, Daniels signed with Boston Celtics.[10]

On February 6, 2011, while the Celtics were playing against the Orlando Magic, Daniels collided with Magic guard Gilbert Arenas and suffered a bruised spinal cord. Daniels laid motionless on the floor for several minutes before being taken away on a stretcher. He gave the Boston crowd a thumbs up sign, and after arriving at a Boston Hospital, regained movement of his arms and legs.[11]

On February 24, 2011, Daniels was traded, along with cash considerations, to the Sacramento Kings in exchange for a 2017 protected second-round draft pick.[12] On July 1, 2011, he became a free agent, departing the Kings before playing in a game for them.

On December 9, 2011, Daniels re-signed with the Boston Celtics on a one-year deal.[13]

Milwaukee Bucks (2012–2013)

[edit]

On September 25, 2012, Daniels signed with the Milwaukee Bucks.[14]
