Eddie Daniel (19, Seoul SK), who showed off his versatility from his first season as a professional, has been reborn as the best six-man in the KBL.

Daniel won the Six Man Award at the 2025-2026 LG Electronics Professional Basketball Awards held at the Grand Intercontinental Seoul Parnas Grand Ballroom in Teheran-ro, Gangnam-gu, Seoul on the afternoon of the 9th.

Six Man Award winner Eddie Daniel received a trophy and 2 million won in prize money. Danielle said after winning the award, "I didn't expect to win the award from the first season. "I'm very honored," he said. "I want to thank the coaching staff, including club officials and coach Jeon Hee-chul, who trusted me. I'm also grateful to the older brothers for leading me well even though I still have a lot of things to do. We will develop into a player who can help the team more beyond the Sixman," he said.

Daniel received 73 out of a total of 117 votes, beating second-place Han Seung-hee (38 votes, Anyang Jeonggwanjang) to receive the honor at his first career KBL award ceremony.

Daniel, a top prospect who appeared like a comet this season, quickly adapted to SK and was reborn as the best six-man in the KBL. He caught the eyes of officials by showing his unique energetic defense and breakthrough, accurate under-the-goal finishes and aggressive offensive rebounds.

SK, which has a supernova, also rose. Daniel recorded 19 wins and 11 losses in 30 games. Daniel played an average of 22 minutes and 25 seconds and stood out in both attack and defense, scoring 7.2 points and 3.5 rebounds (1.7) with a success rate of 61.9% 0.8 steals.

Daniel, who has attracted attention for his extraordinary talent, spent his best year showing off his competitiveness on the professional stage after being selected as a professional team for the first time in the introduction of the KBL-related player system and joining SK without going through a rookie draft.

Danielle, who has a Korean mother and an English father, is a proven prospect even before entering the professional stage. Daniel was recognized for his potential by winning the "2024 Futures Star Awards" hosted by Star News and the "2025 Futures Star Awards" by winning the grand prize in the basketball category.
