When he checked out Calipari said a few words and a couple of guys dapped him up but his team was winning big so it was more like, "hey, tough night, hang in there." Acuff didn't have a bad attitude at all, his frustration was contained, but palpable.
Things totally changed when he went back in the game but it felt like it had more to do with his team losing a big lead than him trying to get his numbers. Felt like he put it in another gear when his team needed him. Literally like 7-8 possessions in a row, impacted the game on both ends. Super impressive.
Obviously scouts see Flemings and others as more toolsy, but Acuff is just different. I don't know if it will translate to the NBA, but if it does he could be the best PG of the bunch.
Also, Calipari can coach.
Acuff could easily be the best PG of the draft. Flemmings draw is that he is more of a two way player. I would be happy with either one.
