The culprits are many.
When a player is selected in the second round of the draft that means that most of the NBA found holes in the game. In the case of Daniel Gafford, that also includes the team that selected him 38th overall.
But Gafford also knows which teams showed real “interest’’ in him, yet still passed on the 6-foot-10 big man from Arkansas.
“I don’t put [that chip] on my shoulder,’’ Gafford said on Saturday. “I just let my game do the talking. I don’t do too much talking where it’s like, ‘Oh, a bunch of teams could have picked me before …’ I know the teams that had interest in me, and when we play those teams that slipped up on me I just show them.
