Pros:

• extremely quick first step and tight handle; downhill threat

• good passer especially on the drive

• good touch on floaters and close middies

• good pnr decision maker

• active off-ball mover

• keeps in-air body control even after a bump

Cons:

• struggles against contact and perimiter traps

• defensive liability

• questionable three point/overall jump shot versatility as a small guard

C: great backup/fringe starter

F: doesn't survive rookie contract

Darius Acuff Jr., 6'3, 190, PG, Arkansas, Fr.

• Comp: Gilbert Arenas / Tyrese Maxey / D'Angelo Russell

• Ceiling: ALL-NBA

• Floor: Bench

• Great scoring guard

• Solid defensively, nothing special but reliable

• Really good efficiency for his production level

• Very competitive

• Good at getting to his spots, whether that's a pull up or getting to the basket

• Great vision, good at reading defenses

• Can lose motivation

• He is explosive, but could greatly benefit from putting on some size

• Has a very good handle

• Expectation: Borderline ALL-NBA; He'll be a good offensive-based guard, but he'll struggle on defense because of his smaller stature and it'll prevent him from making a jump beyond ALL-STAR level

Acuff Jr. is a baller, a winner and a big time shot-maker who plays with a ton of confidence. He’s been sensational in league play and so far in the tournament and his draft stock is skyrocketing. He’s not the biggest guy and isn’t a great defender but plays with toughness and is unstoppable on the offensive end. He's become a lethal shooter and his ability to get into the paint and get buckets is unmatched. I wouldn't be surprised if he went as high as 3 or 4 on draft night.

no striking weaknesses

balance of a kyrie but not the shiftiness or creativity

comp tre mann

great shooter nice ball handling decent defense

not a bad build, not too small he can grow into it

not sure what spearates him from tre mann, bones, etc

Pros:

1. Shown Shotmaking Prowess, 3 level Scorer

2. Extremely Quick and Creative

3. Great Scorer

4. Hard to speed up

5. Flashes of Defense

6. Playmaking, looks comfortable against college comp

Cons:

1. Undersized Guard

2. Questions about Efficiency

3. Not Explosive

4. Could Get Hunted on Defense

5. Settles for floaters on weak side

Pro Comp: Damian Lillard, Isiah Thomas Ceiling: All NBA Floor: Benchwarmer guard, undersized

Best Team Fits: Milwaukee, Dallas, Atlanta, Memphis

Calling Card: Scoring, being an offensive hub

He is just a pure bcuket. He can score from anywhere he can make his own bucket and can get it off an assist. He is also an incredible passer and his complete offensive player

The defense is a little worrisome though. Also he could ball hog and try to be the hero at times.

Comparison: I don’t exactly see it but I have heard some Kyrie
