29. San Antonio Spurs (via Raptors) – Daniel Gafford, C, Indiana
Back-to-back centers taken in the 2019 NBA Draft? Yes, it’s quite amazing that this would happen in the modern NBA, but that’s exactly what could happen with the Warriors and Spurs. San Antonio could use a natural center, and Daniel Gafford fits the mold.
Gafford is 6-foot-11 and averaged a double-double while blocking 2.5 shots per game during his sophomore season at Indiana. He returned to school last season, but didn’t help his draft stock all that much.
Now, he’s ready to make the jump to the association, and what better place to do that with the Spurs.
