 He’s declared for the draft and isnt playing in the NIT its on this sites home page. I think he’s got decent value in the 1st round, could be a sleeper pick. Smart player that knows his role, mobile defender but needs to continue to improve his jumpshot.

 Gafford looks like a mid to late 1st rounder right now.  I think he could move up in workouts as he is a Clint Capela athletic rim runner and shotblocker type player.

 He’s in the clutch of big men in the site’s mock draft between 18 and 23 where Boston could have a couple of picks so I could see them looking at him. With that number of bigs a lot will depend on the work outs and Gafford’s size and athleticism could well appeal to a GM.

He may not be a huge offensive threat but teams will likely be interested in his defensive potential and as he can run the floor well his PG can keep him ticking of with put backs and dunks off lobbed passes.

Of those guys I think Bol Bol will move up the draft a bit given his size and someone like Bitdaze is your classic European stasher. 

I definitely think Gafford will be a first round pick possibly inside the top 20, if he did fall then Brooklyn, GSW and Spurs currently with picks 27 to 29 would be unlikely to let him slip into round 2.
