On replay, there are a couple positive noticeable improvements.
Gafford really uses his body well - both as a rebounder and screener. He ripped an offensive rebound away from Chet Holmgren (for a putback) and it didn't look all that difficult. He opens up space as a screener as several Mavs found an open lane to the basket.
PJ needs to improve some of those catch-and-shoots, but if he can get players to defend and close on him, he has a nice cut-to-the-basket with a push shot that he made a couple of times.
