The super rookie, born in 2007, is growing fast. Eddie Daniel (19), a former "Star Grand Prize," led Seoul SK to three consecutive wins.

SK defeated Goyang Sono 79-59 in the 2025-2026 professional basketball regular league home game held at Jamsil Student Gymnasium in Seoul on the 31st.

SK, which won three consecutive games with the victory on the day, remained firmly in fourth place with 22 wins and 14 losses. On the other hand, Sono, who suffered a complete defeat, finished seventh with 14 wins and 22 losses.

The winners were Jamil Warney, who celebrated his birthday, and Daniel, a rookie. Warney celebrated his birthday by scoring 21 points and nine rebounds. Alvin Tolentino also added 15 points.

Above all, rookie Eddie Daniel's energy shone. Danielle scored 10 points, six rebounds, two steals and one block shot on the day, energizing both sides of offense and defense. She elevated the team's fighting spirit by garnering three offensive rebounds including two-point shots (3/5), three-point shots (1/2), and free throws (1/1).

Danielle, who has a Korean mother and an English father, is already a proven prospect. After winning the "2024 Futures Star Awards" hosted by Star News, it was recognized for its potential by winning the grand prize in the basketball category at the "2025 Futures Star Awards."

Kevin Kembao scored 22 points for Sono. Alternative foreign player Igidius Motsukavichus had four points and seven rebounds in his debut.

The game was decided early in the first quarter. SK took the lead in about three minutes by opening Tolentino's scoring at the start of the game. While Sono was struggling with the field struggle, SK widened the gap and finished the first quarter with a 31-12 lead of as many as 19 points.

In the second quarter, both teams suffered from a severe scoring drought. SK did not score a field goal more than four minutes after the start of the quarter, and Sono also lost the momentum of its pursuit as Lee Jung-hyun and Lee Jae-do's outer guns remained silent. The first half ended with a 47-23 SK lead.

In the second half, Sono tried to chase Kembao with three 3-pointers. However, for SK, Warney scored at every crisis, and Daniel succeeded in a cheerful dunk and additional free throws, pouring cold water on Sono's willingness to chase. SK overwhelmed 64-44 in the third quarter as well.

There was nothing unexpected in the fourth quarter. SK kept its concentration until the end and blocked Sono's score. In the end, he finished the game with a huge victory by 20 points.
