Yesterday, I wrote a long article responding to the seeming national (and somewhat local) outrage that the Sixers were tanking. I used K.J. McDaniels, a second-round pick that already looks much better than the spot at which he was drafted, as an example that the organization had drafted well so far, part of what their overall plan for success hinged on. Apparently though, a woman who claims to be his mother and is followed by McDaniels, isn’t thrilled with the direction of the Sixers.

Also, KJ McDaniels’ mom has a hot take for me and you: https://t.co/You4OMKtwBpic.twitter.com/BH1h8e6JyZ — Michael Levin (@Michael_Levin) November 20, 2014

If this actually is his mother, which it appears it is, her past tweets lead me to think we may have finally have found a replacement for Marcus Vick.

Well if that’s the case, McDaniels and Michael Carter-Williams might not turn out to be the best of friends.

In all seriousness, if this is his mother, the apple doesn’t fall to far from the tree. And if she feels this way about tanking, it isn’t hard to see why he only signed a one-year deal as a rookie.
