NBA DRAFT SCOUTING REPORT
Draft Notes
Gafford came in as an unheralded recruit but has shown flashes of big time athletic ability and
impressive above the rim play, making him a likely lottery pick.
His length and leaping ability are truly special, allowing him to fly threw the air for highlight reel dunks and swat shots on the defensive end. He’s a quick leaper who makes it look effortless.
