Gafford's miscues an early bugaboo

FAYETTEVILLE -- There's been a lot to like about University of Arkansas sophomore forward Daniel Gafford through two games this season.

So far, the 6-11 Gafford is averaging more points (16.0), rebounds (8.0), blocked shots (3.0) and minutes (30.5) than he did as a freshman.

But there's also one statistical category where Gafford's average is way up, and it's not a good one.

Gafford is averaging 6.0 turnovers -- five times his average of 1.2 from last season when he had 37 turnovers in 31 games.

Last season Gafford averaged one turnover every 21.3 minutes and never had more than three turnovers in game.
