BASK:Aussie star Dyson Daniels scoops another NBA gong

Australian star Dyson Daniels has landed yet another accolade in the NBA, making the All-Defensive team for the second time in two seasons.

Enjoying another stellar year with Atlanta, Daniels helped the Hawks to the No.6 seeding in the Eastern Conference before falling to the New York Knicks (4-2) in the first round of the playoffs.

Daniels was picked on Friday alongside Toronto's Scottie Barnes, Oklahoma City's Cason Wallace, Miami's Bam Adebayo and New York's OG Anunoby in the NBA's All-Defensive second team.

The Boomers star picked up nine first-place votes and 32 second-place votes.

In 76 games played this season, all starts, Daniels averaged career highs in rebounds (6.8), including a career-best 4.4 defensive boards and 5.9 assists, in addition to 11.9 points and 1.96 steals in 33.2 minutes.
