The *DANIEL GAFFORD Effect* Changes Everything For LUKA!
The Dallas Mavericks are 6- 0 with Daniel Gafford starting casually he has made his last 33 shot attempts he needs three more buckets in a row to break Wilt Chamberlain’s record that is insane and when he starts for the Mavericks he’s a double double machine not only
That but he’s protecting the rim last four games he has a total of 14 blocks it’s simple the more he plays the more successful the Mavs are there is no need to overthink it he fits the team like a glove there are going to be people who discredit him chasing This Record
Because they just see him slamming home lobs from Luca but as a Sixers fan I have to watch Mo Boma get minutes with M beat hurt and he makes catching lobs or getting off the ground look near impossible gafford’s leaping ability and athleticism and just his stature overall
Needs to be appreciated the dude is a freak of nature I mean look at this play right here first he uses his big body just to disrupt Wiggins while guarding Luca that has to be annoying pocket pass look at where he starts his gather look
At how high he gets also look at how quickly he gets in the air and look at how high he is off the ground shout out to trace Jackson Davis who is a great shot blocker him having the guts to challenge gaffer I admire it I mean just freakish athletic ability from both
Players other little things like catching a lob with one hand while leaning backwards will not be appreciated by the masses but trust me that’s a skill not every Big Man possesses those Elite hands man oh man he looks like a wide receiver out there he looks like Calvin Johnson Megatron
Going up for that and slam it at home another one against the Pacers it’s like he has stick them on his hands or something like that and the thing is Lucas is already so accurate so combo that with gafford’s quick bounce crazy long Wings span and hands I mean look at
Him here he just snatches it out of the air before Jaden ivy can get there in traffic like it’s nothing hit the ground and immediately go right back up with it right here we see his insane impact all wrapped in the one play when he’s on his
Game pick and roll defense he takes away the ball handler rotates back to the roller his size and length allows him to just eat that up block but his job is not done he runs the floor even though Miles Turner is ahead of him he beats
Him to the ball to lay it up for two his motor is Relentless and he gets the n one whether it’s huge slams at the rim blocks on the defensive end of the floor all of his highlights feel like huge momentum shifting plays that get the crowd and his team going more little
Things he knows how to get position one of the best offensive rebounders in all of basketball he sees Tim Hardaway shot go up and immediately he seals off bam to get great position and because of that it lands right in his lap then he has the strength to just fight through
All the traffic and turn around flinging up and he gets a sweet roll with his sweet touch LCA donic is Elite at navigating the pick and roll Gafford is an elite screener here he absolutely annihilates Jimmy Butler on this play now bam is left on an island now we are
Going to see the true definition of vertical spacing pause here you can say oh the heat recovered very nicely but look at all that space behind bam they are screwed they are screwed because Luca knows if I just lob it up as high as can be nobody is out jumping Gafford
Bam is not expecting him to throw it because as we went over against most players they are in good position you must have different rules against them that sequence is unguardable the heat did the best they could and then how about him having the smarts the IQ to
Just seal off his guy to create a driving lane for Luca sort of a highway type of screen pause here again the Warriors are like okay Luca is screwed nope he has the eyes in the back of his head throw to Gafford free dunk and another valuable skill he has is he’s
Not afraid of contact here he gets it and just notice how he goes through Isaiah Stewart the contact does not affect his touch on the finish at all this skill gets him to the foul line a few times every single game the point is he’s not one of those bigs where you
Tremble in fear when he has The Rock he can do a few things when he’s feeling it he can even get a little frisky and hit the defender with the Euro stepper roony it’s plain and simple the Mavericks look like a different team when Daniel gaffer
Gets high I I just don’t understand how you can watch him in the first couple games and then be like I’m going to take him out of the starting lineup they were clicking after the trade and then Jason kid was like nah I’m good on that you
Know it’s working but I’m not feeling it I’m not really feeling it you know what I’m saying I I don’t get it let me know your thoughts below check out my other videos if you got time leave a like And subscribe have yourself a great day and peace out

They want to develop there young center I mean he's only a rookie gafford is what he is but the rook could be crazy
Mavs get their shit together. They'll be hard to beat. They have one if the best center rotation in the league right now. Gaff at starting and DLive off the bench and you can still use Maxi in small ball. Throw Gaff/DLive and Maxi down into a 4. Nico Harrison is a genius.
I think the Gafford trade will go down as one of the best!
C- 6'10" Gafford
PF- P.J.
SF- DJ
SG K.i.
PG- L.D.
Gafford and Lively plus Luka and Kyrie…Scary! Throw in PJ and Green in between for good measure.
Imagine being Jason Kidd and just benching this kid and he’s been holding him back
Relax You guys are the 8th seed
Luka finally has a big, you notice the massive difference when Gafford or DLive is on the court. I get the feeling they love playing together, especially Gafford.
gafford is exciting to watch
The Mavs twin towers will take them to the finals ring.💍🏆
I didn’t get it either Kidd was trippin
Mav's prev losing streak is because of Kid
You’re right about all of that and let’s say it, again, Gafford is SMART. He gives GREAT answers during press conferences, as well. Seriously.
What happened to Derek Lively. I thought he was the next big Mavericks star?
It’s like the Mavs have a superstar 7 footer who averages 16 pts 16 rebounds 4 blocks and plays 48 minutes straight having Gafford and Lively.
Gafford has been great so far, but he was benched because Dereck Lively came back from injury, and Gafford was still new. Lively's still young, so Gafford maybe edges him out as a player. But don't underestimate Lively. With that said, the reason they switched was not because of talent. Gafford brings a lot of energy to the team. They needed someone like that after a nasty 6 game stretch. I love our centers and am excited for the teams future.
I've been saying for a while now, Mavs have been missing a true big to add defense and scoring in the paint. Kleber and Powell weren't cutting it, and played way too soft in the paint. Now they don't always have to live and die by the 3. They have both Gafford AND Lively playing like true bigs.
Daniel gafford did play Wr
The Gaff/DLive duo at Center is something the Mavs haven't had in over a decade, or maybe ever.
All facts, great video.
I was just thinking why is no one talking about this guy.. he is a scary good addition to the team!!
Give this team to a proper head coach, and they're WCF material. I'd have them slight favorites v the Nuggets actually, but with Kidd I see them losing in the 1st round instead, if not in the play-in
This is absolutely correct. As a Wizards fan, I was disgusted when they traded Gafford… and for a late 1st? Obscene.
Since I'm guessing the Wizards won't be in the title hunt this year (heh), I'm routing for the Suns first (Beal), and the Mavs second. (And any team – ahem, LA – that signs John Wall late.) In addition to being a good player, Gafford seems like a really good dude, the kinda guy you want to see succeed (which hasn't always been the case with Wizards players over the years). He has his flaws of course (awesome rim protector, but his overall defense ain't so great), but his positives are something special. Also, Gafford is one of the handful of players who's almost guaranteed to drop your jaw at least once a game… he's DAMN fun to watch. And now, with Luka feeding him… oh man.
You're right that he does his job very well and this player has potential. But in the end, Dallas still needs more defensive power…8th place, even the years without this current squad were better…that's why I think they need more than a player named GAFFORD.
Most of mavs lost because of Jason ki😢
So after this if he doesnt play 30-40 min … Kidd needs a boot
Daniel Gafford le Dennis Rodman des Mavs….
I always admire people that contest dunks. They care more about defence than being dunked on.
He is miraculously everything that Dallas and Luka ever needed. Dallas can beat any team with their complete team
We have to keep gafford at all costs. He's only 25 still also. He's the best center we've had since Tyson. An absolute defensive beast in the paint. I finally have faith we'll grab a rebound and block a shot if not make it difficult for anyone to score inside.
Are we STILL asking, “Who’s Daniel Gafford?”
Excellent Analysis!
Preciate The Work!
The backboard at 0:56 😀 Damn!
Jason Kidd was probably told start Gafford or you're fired lol
Not sure of he's better than lively but they both deserve to play. A lot.
The thing is, Dereck Lively II is also really good. It's not like Gafford was taken out of the starting lineup for no reason lol. But for now at least, starting Gafford seems to be the way to go.
There’s no reason for either Gafford or lively to not be on the floor at all times.
Gafford is a key player, what he is doing is central to their success or not.
Yeah, I've slept on Gaff…Dude is a beast.
1:42 i stood up and aplaused 👏👏👏
Mavs should try and trade for Steven Adams if possible. His elite screen setting and rebounding will only result in success.
