There were so many times over the years I remember watching and thinking that there were a ton of rebounds available but the Mavs couldn't get either due to lack of size or hustle.
Maybe Gafford's powers are just so amplified here that his rebounding rate has soared and will stay there.
Unlikely, but who knows?
Unlikely he can possibly stay at the current rate, but god news this team has left a lot of rebounds on the table and I would expect Gafford to have a higher rate here than in the past. Its not just rebounds, he is scoring nearly 10 points more per 36 than his career average. Thats another thing that will probably regress some, but will likely be higher here due to the Luka effect.
