29. San Antonio Spurs (via Toronto): Daniel Gafford, Arkansas
Over the last few decades, the San Antonio Spurs have made their bank around the success of their big men, from David Robinson to Tim Duncan. Perhaps they can try to relive some of that magic by taking Daniel Gafford at 29.
It’s not fair to make the comparison, but Gafford has the talent to possibly one of the biggest steals taken late in the first round of the draft. During his second season at Arkansas, Gafford averaged 17 points, nine rebounds and two blocks per game on 66 percent shooting from the field.
If there’s still room for bigs in the NBA, there’s stick room for Daniel Gafford.
