NEW ORLEANS --- The more Daniel Gafford plays, the more his play screams “10-year NBA veteran.”
Gafford plays within himself. He runs the floor hard. He sets good screens. He blocks shots and tries to dunk everything.
In short, he knows who he is.
“Really, just focus on being consistent and make sure I do better things on defense from the game before,” Gafford said in a recent interview. “And whatever I do well on defense is going to help me offensively.”
Gafford helped the Bulls offensively in Monday’s road loss to the Mavericks, scoring 13 points on six dunks in a season-high 25 minutes.
