Daniel Gafford has only been with the Dallas Mavericks for 13 games now but he has already made his presence known with some incredible games.
Speaking on SiriusXM NBA Radio, Frank Isola pointed out that Gafford has gone 28-of-28 during his last four games.
On March 5, he went 7-of-7, followed by 5-of-5 on March 7, and then 7-of-7 again on March 9.
Then he went 9-of-9 on Monday night.
Gafford hasn’t missed a shot since March 3, which is a truly stunning and nearly historic accomplishment.

Since joining the Mavericks in February, Gafford has averaged 10.7 points and 7.1 rebounds.
Unsurprisingly, his field goal percentage has been sensational with 76.6% from the floor.
Gafford hasn’t been a starter for most of his short time with the Mavericks, but he has been part of the starting five for the last three games.
And after these last four games, he could remain a starter for a while.
The Mavericks are now in the midst of a three-game winning streak, having just taken down the Miami Heat, Detroit Pistons, and Chicago Bulls.
As impressive and promising as that is, they are still the eighth seed in the Western Conference and are hoping to climb higher before the postseason kicks off in a few weeks.
For most of the season, fans of the Mavericks were pleading with the front office to add more power to the frontcourt.
The acquisition of Gafford was seen as a way to beef up the team’s power in the paint and in the low post.
So far, he has been off to a great start in Dallas and people think he could get even better.
Mavericks fans are hoping that this sort of elite point-making continues as the regular season concludes.
