2007-08: The Sharks first selection of the 2008 draft. Justin along with his twin brother Drew, who the Sharks selected in the seventh round, were among the highest-rated prep school players by the Central Scouting Service. Justin was only ranked 100th among North American skaters and based on his numbers may have been a bit of a stretch in the third round. But the production is there. In 25 games at Kent High School, Daniels notched 47 points.
