James Edward Daniel III (born January 29, 1994) is an American basketball player. He transferred from Howard University in Washington, D.C. He is notable for leading the NCAA in scoring as a junior in the 2015–16 season and was named the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference Player of the Year the same season.

Daniel, a 5’11” (1.80 m) shooting guard from Phoebus High School in Hampton, Virginia, came to Howard and immediately made an impact. After averaging 21 points per game, he was named Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) Rookie of the Year. During his sophomore season, Daniel became the first Howard player to score 1,000 points in his first two seasons. In his junior season, Daniel averaged 27.1 points per game to lead the country in scoring. He was named first-team All-MEAC and the conference player of the year. 

Following an injury-plagued 2016–17 season where he was limited to two games, Daniel was granted an extra year of eligibility by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). Daniel ultimately chose Tennessee, where he will be immediately eligible for the 2017–18 season. 

Daniel reached the 2,000 career point milestone on December 20, 2017, in a home win over Furman. After ending undrafted he signed a contract overseas for Enosis Neon Paralimni. After only playing nine games in 2019 his contract was ended. He played in 2019 in The Basketball Tournament for Team Boo Williams. He played in 2019 also in the preseason of the G-League for the Northern Arizona Suns. In 2021 he played again in The Basketball Tournament this time for Bleed Virginia.

James Michael Ray McAdoo (born January 4, 1993) is an American professional basketball player for the Sun Rockers Shibuya of the B.League in Japan. He played college basketball for the North Carolina Tar Heels, and twice earned second-team all-conference honors in the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC). McAdoo won two NBA championships with the Golden State Warriors. He has also played in various international leagues, including the EuroCup, Turkish Basketball Super League (BSL), and ABA League.

Born and raised in Norfolk, Virginia, McAdoo attended Norfolk Christian High School. As a junior in 2009–10, he averaged 22.5 points and 9.9 rebounds per game. As a senior in 2010–11, McAdoo averaged 21.6 points and 8.1 rebounds per game. He led Norfolk Christian to consecutive state championships and earned Gatorade Player of the Year honors in Virginia in 2010 and 2011. During his career, McAdoo earned USA Today first team and Parade All-American third team honors, as well as earning co-Most Valuable Player honors at both the McDonald’s All-America Game (17 points) in Chicago and the Jordan Brand Classic (26 points, 14 rebounds) in Charlotte. 

In September 2009, McAdoo committed to the University of North Carolina. After Travis and David Wear transferred from UNC, McAdoo considered graduating a year early so he could join the Tar Heels in 2010, but McAdoo ultimately decided to stay at Norfolk Christian through his senior year. 

McAdoo was rated as the #4 player in the class of 2011 by Scout.com, the #6 player in the ESPNU 100, and the #8 player by Rivals.com. 

McAdoo played three seasons at the University of North Carolina, recording career averages of 11.4 points, 5.9 rebounds, 1.0 assists, and 1.2 steals in 25.0 minutes over 108 games. As a junior in 2013–14, he earned All-ACC second team honors for the second straight year after averaging 14.2 points, 6.8 rebounds, 1.7 assists, and 1.3 steals in 34 games. 

On April 3, 2014, McAdoo declared for the NBA draft, foregoing his final year of college eligibility. 

After going undrafted in the 2014 NBA draft, McAdoo joined the Golden State Warriors for the 2014 NBA Summer League. On September 2, 2014, he signed with the Warriors, but was later waived by the team on October 24. On November 3, McAdoo was acquired by the Santa Cruz Warriors as an affiliate player of Golden State. 

On January 19, 2015, McAdoo signed a 10-day contract with the Golden State Warriors. He made his NBA debut later that night as McAdoo came off the bench to record 11 points and five rebounds in the 122–79 victory over the Denver Nuggets. He was not retained by Golden State following the expiration of his contract on January 29, and McAdoo returned to Santa Cruz the following day. On February 2, he returned to Golden State, signing a second 10-day contract with the team. Following the expiration of his second 10-day contract, McAdoo returned to Santa Cruz where he played two games before being called up again by Golden State on February 19, signing with the team for the rest of the 2014–15 season. He was assigned multiple times to Santa Cruz to finish the season, as McAdoo earned NBA D-League All-Rookie first team and All-NBA D-League second team honors. He went on to win a D-League championship with Santa Cruz and an NBA championship with Golden State; McAdoo appeared in just over a minute of action for the Warriors during the 2015 NBA Finals against the Cleveland Cavaliers. 

McAdoo retained his spot on Golden State’s roster for the 2015–16 season, but missed all of January and February due to a sprained toe on his left foot. On March 21, 2016, McAdoo made his first NBA start, recording seven points and six rebounds in 17½ minutes of action in a 109–104 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Warriors returned to the NBA Finals in 2016, where they were defeated in seven games by the Cavaliers despite a 3–1 lead.

On July 13, 2016, McAdoo re-signed with the Warriors. The Warriors won 67 games in the 2016–17 season and made their way through to their third straight NBA Finals. There, the Warriors defeated the Cavaliers in five games to claim their second championship in three years. The Warriors finished the playoffs with a 16–1 record, the best postseason winning percentage in NBA history. 

On July 2, 2020, McAdoo signed with the Sun Rockers Shibuya of the B.League. 

For the last few months Jaleel Nelson has been a college student, a basketball coach and a basketball player at the same time.  On Monday, Nelson, a Lakeland graduate and former Cavalier hoop standout, graduated with a Business Administration degree from Chowan. That accomplishment makes his daily slate a little easier.  “It was hectic. I was going from Suffolk, to Murfreesboro (N.C.) and back here for practice at 4 (p.m.) and to my own practice at 7,” Nelson said.

Nelson, a 6-foot-5 guard/forward, starred on the hardwood for the Hawks for four years. He scored more than 1,200 points to rank No. 3 all-time in scoring in CU history.  “I was planning on going overseas, but I had to go back to school for one more semester so I missed the draft for international leagues in August,” Nelson said.  While home one weekend, he was told about a weekend tryout for the Seven City Knights, a new ABA (American Basketball Association) organization.

“It’s worked out to be the perfect way to stay in shape, get some exposure, get some people to notice and maybe network some. Maybe it’ll lead to a shot at the D-League (NBA Developmental League),” Nelson said.  The Knight tryout was over two days. The second day included a game in which Nelson had 24 points, 12 rebounds and four steals. Nelson made the Knights and is starting.  Every Knight game could be promoted as Lakeland Cavalier Reunion Night.
