[Highlights] Darius Acuff Jr. with the jumper, the impressive banked And-1 shot, the Iverson crossover and layup for his first California Classic Summer League buckets (with replays)
Acuff is 3-16 right now and 0-5 on threes lol with a -20 in a 7 point game. Summer league is the best time to chuck it though
I feel like playing that bad in summer league correlates to future all NBA
check trae young’s summer league stats, and if you want to see something really funny find the meltdown threads on reddit after those games
Rookies probably get a pass. If you’re a second year player and struggling though (Dalton Knecht) you might be cooked
Russell Westbrook has re-signed with the Kings
I bet he’s under direction to find his shot and score. He was a good decision maker and playmaker in college. I doubt that all disappeared overnight
I remeber wemby played so bad, Alex sarr too
I’m disgusting nba addict and I’m watching this game. His defense is truly atrocious. He doesn’t move his feet laterally on defense, he does this weird hop toward the offensive player with both feet so is immediately out of place if the ball handler goes to another direction.
My opinion was I didn’t care about his defense because he just had to be hideable the way early Steph was and Brunson is.
After this one game I can confidently say he’s two years from being two years away from being two years away from being two years away.
Acuff is actually worse on defense than any of those guys were like witw
Yes that is addressed in the post.
Also watching and he’s the worst defender I have ever seen. He looks pretty good on offense outside of his 3 ball just isn’t falling and he won’t stop chucking ‘em.
There’s a reason he had arguably the best offensive freshman season ever for a guard and didn’t go top 5
He was statistically the worst defender possibly ever in college
Worst defensive prospect to ever be drafted in the top 10
Wow I’m a nets fan and even I feel like I shouldn’t be watching this game, respect
i’m not an expert or anything, but it sounds like a lot of that is stuff he can work on if he puts in the effort, not jumping TOWARDS the offensive player (lol) and just spamming lateral quickness drills
i guess the question is: will he actually try to improve his defense?
And he played 35 MPG under Calipari.
3-16
He’s missing shots, but he’s getting to good spots. If you’re watching the game, his offense looks promising. It’s his defense that sucks.
Yeah his fucking career is over what a bust after 1 game thought he’d be the one smh
I’m feeling gracious and will give him some time, but if he’s not a star by the end of next season I will personally certify him as a bust.
Yeah I’m saying the same for Peterson and his 8 turnovers, atrocious.
Just one summer league game bros everyone calm down
He looks good offensively despite the lack in consistency, but its the summer league. A lot of time to polish.
Kings finally got a future superstar wow
Too easy man
Ignore the other 13 missed shots
I’ll be honest im just highlight glazing
3-16 well damn
He’s going to be so fucking good. 2nd best guard in this class after Peterson hands down.
Peterson today is actually so smooth
Hell nah
Theres 2 sides of the game and he doesnt play 1 side at all.
I doubt it imo. I feel like Acuff has the biggest bust potential in the lottery
HTF does Acuff have defense THIS bad and zero assists???
Darius Fox
Yeahh we fucked up lol
You should actually watch the game 😂. His defense is as advertised and he’s 3-16
Ah shit nvm lol I haven’t been able to watch yet. Thank you for the context
With zero assists.
Sounds a King already
Wait until his defensive highlights get posted
I mean he is 3-14 from the floor lol these are the 3 makes. It’s summer league of course
It’s okay, take a deep breath…He’s missed 13 shots and there’s still 7 minutes left in the 3rd.
Keaton Wagler is a way better fit with Garland
Don’t even need to add the “fit with garland” part
3-16 -20 on the court. He’s officially a Sacramento King!
Bro took 29 shots 🤣 pass the ball man
He did when folks would work to get open lol watch the tape, too often fools just standing around not moving while covered. Hes gotta ask for screens and picks or nobody will do shit and leave him on an island, terrible coaching and “ball IQ” from the G leaguers. Clifford the only one smart enough to read a situation with him.
