Daniel Gafford’s first game with the Washington Wizards was an encouraging glimpse of what he can bring to the frontcourt.
It didn’t take long for Daniel Gafford to show why the Washington Wizards traded for him at the deadline. On paper the acquisition made sense; the Wizards needed a young, athletic big man with some upside. The 6’10”, 22-year-old Gafford is just that. However, he wasn’t able to become a regular part of the rotation during his year and a half in Chicago. Sometimes, things that look right on paper, don’t work out on the floor.
