Gaffney is a baller. I said this a while ago- he is much better than Cole.
They both have been playing well. Playing within themselves. Not hurting the team. And Gaff helped today.

Their improvement has been the best part of Bouk's absence. Maybe they improve the same with Bouk on the floor as well, but I'm just gunna say they don't. Put a positive spin on the injury.

I like when Gaffney can play off the ball. The Cole, Gaff, Ajax line up was solid. With Bouk coming back hopefully soon, I expect Tyler Phommachanh and BA minutes to drop. Can’t have them play major minutes and not giving much.

Gaff will have an even better game vs PC playing against Alyn Breed and having Bouk alongside him. Also PC doe st have nearly the interior presence on defense as Seton Hall.

Gaffney played very well today on offense, best game of his career. I too like him off the ball. I like RJ but he needs to play better than he did today.

Gaffney seemed to have his offense really click 12 games into his sophomore year.
If we read that statement before the season started I think we would be good with that going into conference play . It sucks that 12 games into his sophomore year happened in February.

Nope. I just don't think our lottery pick and our back up PG averaging 5/5/2 on 36/36/82 splits have anything in common. Crazy, I know.

This is the same site that asked if Polley is the next Duncan Robinson after a hot two games.
Gaffney getting to the rim with ease against one of the best interior defending teams in the conference is a good thing.

I've also said this from day 1.

That's great that you said it from day one. The problem is, over the course of the season, it hasn't been true. Gaffney was outstanding on offense today, no question. I hope we see more of that and I'm sure Hurley will give him a chance. But to pretend he should have been playing more all along when he's been way below par is bizarre.

And that is the biggest difference between Gaff and Cole. With Gaff it's either confidence or hesitation. But if he's chooses to get to the rim, he can get separation and he can draw contact.

With Cole, he's just limited by being short, slow, short arms and not a great jumper.
