In this week’s NBA draft, former Hog forward Daniel Gafford is expected to be the first Razorback drafted since Bobby Portis in 2015. Portis has become a solid NBA player, first with the Bulls and now with the Wizards, and Razorback Nation is wishing the same for Big Dan.
Gafford, a former five-star recruit, was once considered a first-round pick, but his stock has fallen for a variety of reasons, some beyond his control. CBS Sports has him going 40th overall (10th pick of the second round) to Sacramento. Sports Illustrated has him going 33rd (3rd pick of the second round) to Philadelphia.
