Brown has the right body - 6'5" 190 lbs. Shoots about 35% from three on pretty good volume. Good FT% at 80%. Assts are OK fo a PG at 4.9 Probably the knock on him is his shot selection which needs to get better and he has a few more TOs than the other PGs. He's getting 18 ppg.
Flemings is the best floor general I've seen. 6'4" at 190lbs. He averages fewer points than the other two guards (16 per game) but he has better players around him. Shoots the 3-ball in the upper 30s and has 5.2 assists per game. Good FT shooter. He really seems in command every I game I've watched. Not much weakness in his game.
Acuff is only 6'3" maybe 6'2" and 190 lbs. Ive watched a lot of Acuff. Statistically he's the best of the three, and he has gotten better every game. His 3-point shooting is almost up to 44% now on good volume (5.6 a game). He also has the best 2-point percentage of the three guards. He has great assist numbers at 6.2 per game. He's muscular so he can handle his man defensively, but they will try to shoot over him. He's getting 22 ppg. He too is an 80% FT shooter, and he has the fewest TOs of the three guards. He's the centerpiece of the Arkansas offense. I've seen interviews with this guy and he looks dead serious about the game.
All these guys look like they can play to me.
Flemings is supposed to be the best defender of the three. I think he has the best odds to be a quality starter vs 6th man. But most mocks I have seen have him landing at 5 and that is the least likely spot the Mavs will pick at. My guess is it comes down to Brown or Acuff.
