He won't get many "stocks" but his stats for steals and blocks are about the same as both of the other PGs at the top of the lottery. There's no defensive specialists in this group even if both the other PGs are considered better defenders. Brown for example is 6'5" but doesn't get any more blocks than Acuff does. Brown is better with steals and probably a better defender with that reach just by default.
I suspect Acuff is only going to be average on defense at best. If he turns into Brunson, no one will care I guess.
I thought I read how he may have a good wingspan. Who knows though. I read a year ago,or so he was measured at 6’0. If so, that will hurt him.
Some movement of tankathon. I haven’t seen much of flemings or Wagler yet, but I am not sold they go before Ament, brown or acuff…maybe someone else too
