@KingsLeadSM He's the type of guy that will flourish under the canopy of the real roster. Though there were quite a few roster guys playing summer league, all are not necessarily heavy rotational pieces.

Alex Karaban is looking increasingly comfortable on the court.
Love to see it.

@PMasih007 I'd agree if hadn't just returned from international play.

I get it’s Summer Ball
Me personally if I was Max, I wouldn’t be ok with a rest especially after the game I had yesterday

INJURY UPDATE vs. Boston, 7/15 Darius Acuff Jr. (Rest) - OUT Nique Clifford (Rest) - OUT Maxime Raynaud (Rest) - OUT
English
@SacramentoFan33 Some of these guys are gonna be riding pine🤷🏽♂️
English
Keep in mind this is half of the Kings real roster and they can’t compete against summer league teams.
It’s never been more over for a franchise 🥀🥀
English
@JackBDann Here's the deal... Don't view him as the sole savior of the franchise. We are so far behind, no one should've been viewed that way imo.
English
I fully expect Acuff to be wildly inefficient in year one - but I think there’s certain low-water marks that would raise some real concern.
I’m hoping for:
FT - 80%+
3PT - 35%+ (at volume)
Acuff’s rookie year splits being lower than that would make me very nervous
Jack Dann@JackBDann
Darius Acuff’s summer league averages thus far: 19.5 points 2.5 rebounds 4.5 assists 3.5 turnovers 31% from the field (26/82) 25% from deep 70% from the line
English
@JillAdge Overthought it. Hopefully it works out🤷🏽♂️

Could have had both lol

Meleek Thomas with the smooth spin to jumper 😮💨 The Cavaliers' second-round pick is up to 33 PTS in the 3Q on Prime!

For the record, I wanted Serio De Larrea on the Kings🤷🏽♂️
English
I remember Kings fans on this app talking smack about drafting or rather, not wanting to draft Cam Boozer🤪🥴

@MarcelasHoward In theory you do have to know when to break your slide and run to the next spot but this ain't it haha

One MEAN counter and I’m straight to the baha
TITAN@TemooTitan
Is this the correct way to play defense?
English
@iwitriggerman10 The pairing has some potential for sure.
English
And Max is such a threat from outside too. He pick and pop, something Sabonis can’t really do consistently. And Max can also score in the post and a very good finisher inside. Him and Acuff on that 2-man game will be pretty lethal.

Maxim Raynaud finna show Dylan how to set them screens for Acuff 🔥 🔥 🏹
English
@The_StilesFiles So we'll continue to be a bad team is what you are saying.
English
I am convinced Sutton will get rotation minutes and you can’t convince me otherwise 🫣
Slyde@crypticslyde
@The_StilesFiles @Sactown1140 I’m overreacting to Marquel Sutton give this man a contract
English
@krishcoughran He's young playing with a bunch of young guys that won't be in the league in most cases. Perfect scenario to let it all hang out. See what works. What doesn't.
English
Acuff is a dog. He is a future all-star. My only critique would be to get the offense initiated a little earlier, and he will need to learn how to finish at the rim over the NBA bigs. Doesn't quite have that touch yet, but he will get it.
English
@JackBDann @TheeRealBooda @ellahernangomez Do you really think there is a high probability this team goes from 22 wins to the playoffs in one off season? That is asking a lot and pretty unrealistic in the western conference.
English
@ChrisMWatkins I'm more focused on the lightning quick release from Sharpe on that three 😅

The wildest thing about the Duren-to-the-Kings rumors was how many Kings fans weren't willing to pay the necessary price.
English
@mbappe_spurs @KeeGlockMurray Unfortunately, beggars cannot be choosers in most cases🤷🏽♂️
English
@KeeGlockMurray We can’t give up more than one pick for him. This screams agent work to get the best contract or Detroit fleecing us
English
Getting Duren at age 22 is very fitting for the Kings as that’s the same age we get all of our rookies for the past 5 years
(Not GOAT Acuff)
English
@bretthuff22 This is a fence straddling way to look at things.
English
I encourage Kings fans to refrain from taking a victory lap just yet. A lot has to go right for Duren to end up in Sac. Then he needs to live up to the lofty payday and trade package.
English
@LetsGoSac Isn't it a little different? The old mall appearances were scheduled and usually after players had been in town a while. No?
English
Listen, times have changed, but it’s kind of sad that Jimmer got 10000 people in a mall and Acuff, who’s 10x the level of prospect gets 25 people at the airport.

Welcome to Sacramento, @Dariusacuff5 Go Kings!
