On the Acuff vs Brunson comparison, Brunson scored less than 10 points a game with 2.5 assists in his freshman year. Even in his third year his numbers were not as good as Acuff. I think at least part of the reason he led his team to more wins is because he had a better team around him.
Those 4 guards are scoring roughly 20 points a game with 6 assists. Flemings, Acuff and Wagler are doing it with high efficiency. They have BPMs in the 10-12 range. That is elite for a 19 year old freshman. I think those three guys have floors of rotational players at worst, but I could see Acuff being the next Brunson, Flemings being another Jrue Holiday and Wagler being a Tyrese Haliburton. If I have a chance to draft one of them, I pull the trigger instead of trading down.
Just as long as we all agree, no friggy Brown.
