FAYETTEVILLE -- Earlier this month, Daniel Gafford got a taste of what it will be like to play in the NBA.
The 6-11 forward could be getting ready for his rookie season with an NBA team, but he opted to return for his sophomore season at the University of Arkansas after being projected as a first-round draft pick.
Gafford got to play with some NBA stars -- including Kevin Durant -- at the Nike Skills Academy held in Los Angeles on Aug. 8-12.
Durant, the NBA Finals MVP the past two seasons while leading the Golden State Warriors to back-to-back championships, was Gafford's teammate during a game early in camp.
