That proved to be so crucial for the Wizards, with Gafford collecting the offensive rebound of Beal’s miss. Beal had three Pistons defenders coming at him as he took the shot, including James Wiseman. With Wiseman committing to Beal, Gafford was left with a smaller man to beat for the rebound.

Corey Kispert, Rui Hachimura, and Daniel Gafford may be good buddies on the Washington Wizards, but when it comes to school loyalties, well, the same couldn’t be said as much.</p><p>Kispert and Hachimura, who both hail from Gonzaga, and Gafford, who came from Arkansas, apparently had a bet when their alma maters faced off in the Sweet 16 of March Madness last Thursday. With the talented duo of Drew Timme and Chet Holmgren, the top seed Bulldogs were favored against the no. 4 Razorbacks. But of course, the exact opposite happened, as Arkansas won, 74-68.</p><p>In a <a href="https://www.espn.com/nba/game/_/gameId/401360936">report by ESPN</a>, Kispert revealed how he and Hachimura are paying to Gafford. Let’s just say, the Wizards center has been kind of pushy about it.</p><blockquote>“Gaff has a hundred pushups in the bank, and he can make me do pushups whenever he wants. He’s used about 10 of them. If you see me kind of drop down and do a pushup in warmups or in the huddle during a timeout, that’s the reason why.”</blockquote><p>The Wizards <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/sports/nba/washington-wizards/records">still have a slight chance</a> to earn a spot in the play-in tournament, but it appears they are just making the most of their remaining campaign and have fun while they’re at it. They did score a huge win against the Golden State Warriors on Sunday, 123-115.</p><p>Kispert had his best game for the Wizards, scoring 25 points on 6-of-9 shooting from the field. Gafford contributed decent numbers off the bench with 11 points, six rebounds, and two blocks. Hachimura had six points and four boards.</p><p>It’s unclear how many pushups were tallied.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Gafford on the season is averaging 8.8 points per game, 5.7 assists, and has the 29th highest PER in all of basketball.</p><p>If Washington wants to make the playoffs once again, they’re going to need guys to step up every night just like they have been all season.

Russell Westbrook is an <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/russell-westbrooks-simple-solution-for-getting-over-lakers-3ot-loss-to-kings/" rel="noopener">incredible</a> talent, but they were able to get back Kyle kuzma, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, and Montrezl Harrell. All three of these guys have played important minutes for this Washington team. They have been a major reason for their success.</p><p>Daniel Gafford got the game started for Washington with an insane block. They are going to look to keep that momentum and beat a tough Minnesota team.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

At the heart of their problems lies the unstoppable force known as Joel Embiid.</p><p>The Cameroonian big man has tortured Washington in every game of the series. Embiid has averaged 29.3 points and 7.0 rebounds per game through three contests. But while those numbers don’t jump out at you, it’s his insane efficiency that’s stood out. The Sixers star has shot 67.4% (!!) from the field, 54.5% (!!!) from the three-point line on 3.7 attempts per game.</p><p>The Wizards have thrown three different centers at him, and the only one that seems to stand a chance is Daniel Gafford. However, he just can’t seem to stay on the floor enough because of one huge reason – he keeps fouling.</p><p>Russell Westbrook laid into the big man, who divulged what the Wizards All-Star <a href="https://twitter.com/FredKatz/status/1398831714248675334?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1398831714248675334%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fclutchpoints.com%2Fwp-admin%2Fpost-new.php">told him bluntly</a> to nip his fouling habits in the bud.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Daniel Gafford: "Russ told me tonight, ‘Just stop fucking fouling.'"</p><p>— Fred Katz (@FredKatz) <a href="https://twitter.com/FredKatz/status/1398831714248675334?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">May 30, 2021</a></p></blockquote><p></p></figure><p>Gafford, the only player in the Wizards’ rotation with a positive plus/minus at +1.7, entered the first quarter of Game 3 in the six-minute mark. He drew his second foul even before the quarter buzzer sounded.</p><p>His impact on the court is unquestioned, but he’s personally responsible for not being able to stay on it.</p><p>The same scenario played out in Game 1, the contest Washington had a puncher’s chance of winning. Gafford was a perfect 6-for-6 from the field, with six rebounds and a block. But the big man only played 20 minutes because of foul trouble. He drew two fouls in the first quarter, sat for a bit, then drew two more fouls in the third quarter to keep him on the bench for longer.</p><p>The Wizards’ chances at winning this series are now virtually zero. But the reps and development of their <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/sports/nba/washington-wizards/roster">young players</a> like Daniel Gafford could be crucial in turning the corner for next season.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Gafford, whom Washington acquired from the Chicago Bulls before the deadline, made a fantastic cut to the rim and <a href="https://twitter.com/ClutchPointsApp/status/1387557984742502400" rel="noopener">detonated</a> all over Kuz.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="ca">Gafford DETONATES on Kuzma 😳<a href="https://t.co/R2aw4YlaX7" target="_blank">pic.twitter.com/R2aw4YlaX7</a></p><p>— ClutchPoints (@ClutchPointsApp) <a href="https://twitter.com/ClutchPointsApp/status/1387557984742502400?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">April 29, 2021</a></p></blockquote><p></p></figure><p><i>Sheez. </i>That was NASTY.</p><p>Kyle Kuzma, who has gotten much better defensively for the reigning champs this year, found himself crashing to the floor after that play.

Daniel Gafford, on the other hand, has been thriving with his larger role with the Wizards.</p><p>The 22-year-old slotman has been tallying 10.8 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 2.2 blocks in around 18.2 minutes per game since moving to DC and joining the Wizards <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/sports/nba/washington-wizards/roster" rel="noopener">roster</a>. For sure, Kuz will be more wary next time he sees Gafford around the rim like that.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
