I don’t think it’s fair to diminish what Gafford’s strengths are. He was a starting Center in the NBA and he is a good rebounder and finisher around the rim.
Maxi will inevitably miss time again and we’ll be glad we have Gafford. Gaff should play all of his minutes next to PJW.
The Gafford/Maxi 2-man LU is -26.5 net in 33 minutes.
The Gafford/PJ 2-man LU is -1.3 net in 92 minutes.
I find it a little ironic that in the same post where you declare Gafford being significantly better than Powell you use net ratings to determine who Gafford should play with. Meanwhile in a much bigger sample Powell has a significantly better net rating than Gafford.
