In the second episode of One on One, Daniel speaks to Kevin Owens, a New Jersey native who played his seven-year professional career across the NBA D-League, South Korea, New Zealand, Europe and even a season in the NBL with the Cairns Taipans from 2006 to 2007, playing 37 games and averaging 11.9 points and 8.4 rebounds.
