that shit was nasty. he’s looking really good right now, better than i expected
He’s cooking lowkey 🍳
This guy has all star written all over him
Traded in 2 years
stfu
Search your feelings, you know it to be true.
For Paolo and the Wagners if you throw in a first
Deal
He’s co-signed by a former #1 pick as the next version of himself, yet he falls all the way to #7…
That’s irrelevant
Dude was already a horrible defender playing against college players.
Eh. Dude was burning all his matchsticks carrying his team on offense. He will be more energetic on D with some help on the other end
Who would that be?
Who are you talking about? Kyrie or someone else?
He looks super comfortable. This kid is going to be good
He’s a bucket. Love his confidence
Am I old af or was that a lot of steps …idk what the rules are anymore
Thank you…I’m old too but shit that dude definitely traveled first class lol
Packed his luggage and everything.
“He wAs gAtHeRiNg”

This isn’t even one of the bad ones. He literally just lets the ball float to the side and then grabs its when he starts his shooting motion.
Why does everyone keep acting like number of steps matters at all when the ball is mid dribble
No. I agree that there is so much bs traveling. This is not that. Acuff is elite ball handler, as good as it gets. He pushed the ball out to the baseline and only picked it up when he went to for shot.
Old and washed that was clean
Was clean people on reddit don’t hoop
What the hell even counts as a gather now?
I love this dude’s game, I think the Kings got a really nice player
he can hoop
He has Orlando magic or Bucks written all over him.
Herro seems destined for the kings
I guess traveling calls are just a suggestion in today’s NBA.
Nope, he pushed ball and only picked up on shot.
Seemed like a standard quick gather
I don’t think I will ever get used to it, it feels and looks too much like a travel to me
It’s an nba-only invention. Every other league in the world isn’t this permissive
The chosen one
Isn’t that travel?!? lol
No. Acuff is a better ball handler than you guys are ball understanders.
Remember when people tried to make him seem like a bust during SL let’s not go the other way and say he’s the next AI. The kid looks good though
He looks way better than he did in the Summer League.
He makes his shots.
Kings will have to trade him
Should have been called for a travel
He reminds me of a smaller Anthony Edward’s with the way he moves even the shot
that was like 5 steps
A needlessly tough jumper over luka? Impressive /s
Y’all say that like Luka is a defensive stopper or something 😂😂
Forced a contested, off balance long two… I think most coaches would be happy with that defense. Acuff just made a tough shot
He didn’t force that lol, that’s the shot Acuff wanted to take. He had crazy room after his behind the back. You can tell he practices that fadeaway like crazy, Dirk and Bron made many start practicing that shot to keep in their bag.
I mean I guess… Doesn’t change the fact that every coach in the league would take that shot.
Dirk and LeBron are all time great midrange players…little early to put Acuff there.
to be fair, Fat luka wouldn’t have even jumped
Even rookies going at luka lmao
You guys need to get a new gimmick, ho-ly
None of these shots were falling in summer league but nice to see him off to a hot start
That defense by Luka was terrible. Gave him too much space and by the time he had recovered, that ball was out of his hands.
I bet Luka only expected him to take three steps lol
