Episode Details

Darius Acuff Jr. just got a major boost: an invite to the NBA Draft Green Room, signaling he’s a top-tier prospect poised for a lottery pick. This Arkansas point guard dominated the court this season, winning the Bob Cousy Award, SEC Player and Freshman of the Year honors, and earning consensus First-Team All-American status. He led the Razorbacks to an SEC Tournament title and a deep NCAA run, averaging over 23 points and 6 assists — a rare feat in the SEC since Pete Maravich. While his defense could use work — he averaged under one steal per game — his elite scoring and playmaking have caught the eye of NBA scouts. Acuff could be the fifth one-and-done Razorback in recent years, joining Moses Moody and Anthony Black, with teammates Meleek Thomas and Trevon Brazile also expected to be drafted.
