Why K.J. McDaniels is not with Sixers

UPDATE: K.J. McDaniels has decided to take the second option we discussed below, reports Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo Sports. McDaniels will sign a one-year contract for the rookie minimum of $507,336 that is not guaranteed.

McDaniels will now be a restricted free agent in 2015 and he could cash in next July if he does put up solid numbers and starts at shooting guard.
