There's a lot to like about Gafford. When he blocks out, he'll spread his legs wide and throw his arms straight out laterally. Standard stuff really, but this is a broad-shouldered guy who is really strong. Most guys can't get around those arms. Plus, unlike a lot centers, he's got some real lift in his legs.
I watched him a little at Arkansas. He followed Bobby Portis by a couple of years, but they are a lot alike. Portis has developed a good outside shot that I doubt Gafford can replicate, but Gafford looks now like a little better player under the basket.
