Marquis Antwane Daniels (born January 7, 1981 in Orlando, Florida) is a 6'6" (198 cm), 200 lb (91 kg) shooting guard/small forward for the National Basketball Association's Indiana Pacers. Daniels was an undrafted guard who emerged as one of the year's prized steals in the 2003 rookie crop.
Daniels attended Edgewater High School in his hometown Orlando, Florida, before transferring to Mt. Zion Christian Academy (the same school as current NBA star Tracy McGrady).
Daniels was mostly low-key throughout his college career up until Auburn University reached the Sweet 16 in the much-awaited "March Madness" wherein 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.
