With the Bulls rotation changing, rookie Daniel Gafford wants a chance

ATLANTA – Life at the end of the bench hasn’t exactly been easy for Daniel Gafford.

The rookie second-round pick knows that’s currently his role for the Bulls, but that doesn’t mean he has to embrace it.

So, he just waits patiently and stays ready.

“Yes, it’s kind of tough, because I want to be out there helping the team,’’ Gafford said Wednesday. “I’m always at the end of the bench, trying to be the loudest at the end of the bench. I’m always trying to bring energy to the floor for the guys that are out there playing.
