Daniel Gafford
School: Arkansas
Position: C
Age: 20
Height: 6-foot-10.5
Weight: 237.6
Wingspan: 7-foot-2.25
Draft Range: 20 to 35
Combine Results? Yes (https://stats.nba.com/draft/combine-anthro/)
Why: Athletic traditional center. Would have been a top ten pick just a few years ago. Great finisher around the rim; dunks anything that is dunkable. Dangerous lob threat with fluid yet explosive athleticism. Runs well and dribbles better than expected. Strong rebounder, committed defender and good timing on blocks.
Why Not: No perimeter game at all. Can't shoot outside of the paint and a 59.1% free throw shooter. No court vision; doesn't pass the ball; turns it over a lot when swarmed. Not good at defending out on the perimeter and it's doubtful that will ever become a strength of his. Injury concerns (meniscus tear in high school).
Spurs Fit: Not a finished product but should be able to be the team's third string center by playoff time. Long-term Poeltl insurance.
Spurs Comparison - Ceiling: Athletic Will Perdue
Spurs Comparison - Floor: Amal McCaskill
