2026 Draft Profile - Darius Acuff

Jeremy Woo - ESPN - March 11th: "NBA teams have concerns about his defense, but it's hard to deny Acuff's ability to manufacture points. There's variance of opinion on how he stacks up long term against his peers, but Acuff is the most NBA-ready of the four guards."

Jonathan Wasserman - Bleacher Report - March 10th: "There will surely be NBA evaluators totally sold on Acuff's shotmaking, creativity and burst and playmaking IQ for a lead guard. There will also be skeptics who'll question his athleticism, defense and analytics, which include a steal rate so low that the only previous first-round point guards under 1.2 percent or under were Reggie Jackson, Malachi Flynn and Brandon Knight."

NBA Draft Room - March 6th: "Acuff Jr. is a baller, a winner and a big time shot-maker who plays with a ton of confidence."

Sam Vecenie - The Athletic - March 2nd: "He's the most polished floor general in college basketball. He plays off two feet and moves well without the ball to set up his on-ball moves. His passes are always crisp and on-target, even if his vision and his highlight-reel passes are a bit less polished than some others in the class."
