Daniel Gafford to DAL. Gaff doesn't need the ball to contribute and is an excellent paint protector. All hustle. DAL gonna have to figure out what to do when he has to guard a big man that can shoot. Other than that this is a very good pickup for DAL
oooo someone with a DRB% over 20%!!!
Rebounding is the main gripe I had about Lively. Haven't looked at him recently, but he didn't seem to rebounding like he should have been early in the season.
I haven't noticed it as an issue with Lively at all. In fact, he and Luka generally seem like the only two guys who can get a rebound. He's not like a guarantee it vacuum stealing bad bounces away from the other team, but he generally seems to do his job. Even when he's often doing it against 2+ rebounders from the opposing team because the 4 is the spot Dallas is undersized.
He's around 21% DRB so far. I'd like to see him get into that 25-30 range the great rebounding centers tend to have (I think Tyson Chandler was like 26-27% in Dallas), and am not worried that with NBA strength and conditioning and experience, he may be there as soon as next year.
