Tony Gaffney

[ronartest93]

I notice this guy cause he block EVANS' layup on our preseason game

anginst lakers, yes he is another undersize player (6-9) but he has

7-2 wing-span and in college he average 11.5pt 10.2 reb 3.8block and

2.3 stl, i think he is a defensely minded player, and I search his highlights

on youtube and finding he also a teamwork player......., today

lakers waives him then what should we give him a chance to join our

group?

here is Gaffney 's highlights (poor man Chris Anderson on developing?)

i watched all of the lakers preseason games, gaffney isnt that bad but he isnt that good. he's almost like a slightly less athletic ariza... cant really shoot but if he ever learns how he might be a decent rolepayer.

Interesting player. I thought I was watching a Kirilenko highlights.

I think this should be the kind of players we should be employing, instead of a May, or Mason.

I thought he looked like the player we all hoped Donte could be. But, like Donte he's not a center. So, the question is can he beat out May for the backup PF spot? And, with one roster spot left, do we want another PF?

I'd do it, not that I'm known for thinking like Geoff.

He's not a C, but he is a big, and plays like one. That makes him as qualified for C as JT is, and more qualified than the Hawes we've been seeing just lately.

No! We'd just be treading water...

His college stats were an indication that he would severely, severely struggle offensively in this league. He's mobile, long and athletic as a 6'8" SF with some shotblocking instincts, but he lacks the strength and instincts to become a stopper in this level. He's also old. He strikes me as a guy who will always be invited to summer leagues and always make the second-to-last wave of training camp cuts.
