Dyson Daniels (Atlanta Hawks)
2024-25 NBA Season
Dyson Daniels became the first Australian Boomer named to the NBA All-Defensive First Team, capping a breakout season with three postseason awards: All-Defensive honors, Most Improved Player, and the league steals title.
Nicknamed “Great Barrier Thief,” the 6’7” guard averaged 3 steals and 14 points per game after a mid-season trade from New Orleans. His defensive instincts and effort have drawn league-wide recognition and positioned him as a core piece of Australia’s basketball future alongside Josh Giddey.
