Looked very svelte. Should help him on both ends of the court. Really interested to see if he can find the right scoring/distributing balance on offense for a majority of the season rather than going long stretches where he’s trying to do too much.
I sorta summarized this at the end, but Gafford and Hall were both really impressive to me.
Gafford is really, really good from an athletic standpoint. He had a couple ‘wow’ moments. Darious is super long, a good athlete and seems to have a nice feel for the game. Didn’t force the issue and made the right play. Ran into Mike as I was walking out and chatted with him for a sec. Made the Coty Clarke comparison and while Mike said he wasn’t ready to go that far, it’s obvious he likes him a lot.
C.J. didn’t knock down some open looks in live settings, but it’s just one day. Shot it well in drills. You hope Khalil can get cleared, because he looks athletic enough to help. Was more impressed with Adrio than Dustin, but again it’s just one day.
We’re supposed to get to see them a few more times before Red-White. Looking forward to it.
Garland has a condition that is keeping him from being fully cleared yet. He went through some drills during the open portion the other day, but sat on the sideline for much of it.
