Newly acquired Los Angeles Lakers shooting guard Troy Daniels says Anthony Davis reached out to him in an effort to recruit his services. Davis called Daniels before he signed with the Lakers to let him know that they were interested in his shooting skills:

Daniels, who signed a one-year contract with the Lakers for $2.1 million, had a conference call with the media on Monday. Amid the interview, Daniels noted his excitement to play alongside several of his new teammates, including LeBron James, Kyle Kuzma and Davis:

With all of their offseason moves taken into consideration, the Lakers will be a formidable side in the coming season, and Daniels is on board with the championship mentality:

“I think we have an unbelievable group with this team this year,” Daniels told Lakers reporter Mike Trudell. “They built this team with one goal, to win a championship.”

Though it's still a bit early, ESPN is ranking the Lakers as the No. 6 team in their offseason power rankings.

As for Daniels, he appeared in 51 games for the Phoenix Suns last season. The 28-year-old guard posted averages of 6.2 points and 1.4 rebounds while shooting 41.1% from the field and 38.1% from 3-point land. Daniels is shooting 40% from 3 for his career.
