Olen Shannon Maldonado, käsin tehtyjä artisaanituotteita myyvän JAW-lahjakaupan perustaja. Valitsin Shopify, koska alustoja testatessani totesin sen ehdottomasti yhdeksi helppokäyttöisimmistä alustoista. Minulla oli tärkeää pohtia kehittymistämme tulevaisuudessa. Kaikki myyntiin tarvittavat työkalut, kuten varaston suunnittelu, ovat kätevästi Dashboardissa. Aloita ilmainen kokeilu shopify.com-sivustolla.
Perustin pyöräilyvaatteita valmistavan ornotin vuonna 2013. Mielestäni parasta Shopifessa on se, että voimme harjoittaa liiketoimintaa ilman teknistä osaamista. Voimme hallinnoida yrityksen taustajärjestelmiä ja frontendiä sekä myydä verkossa. Vaivatta. Jos Shopify olisi pyöräilyvaruste, se olisi mielestäni itse polkupyörä. Sillä asiat hoidetaan ja meidän liiketoimintamme hoituu Shopifessa. Alloita ilmainen kokeilu shopify.com-sivustolla
Night one of the NBA draft is all over, and the Sacramento Kings. Got two picks in tonight. Darius Akov picked seventh overall and an Alex Caravan picked with a 29th pick. Sacramento moved up, used their 34th pick and a 2032 second round pick to move up with Cleveland and select. The Yukon player. We got a lot to dissect here, but uh let's start with Darius Acuff Morgan because this is obviously a player that we've been talking about for months and months and months, dating back to the season when we were like Evaluating all these draft guys, and we found out that hey, you know, Scott Perry coached his dad. Like, does that mean anything? And then we remember when John Calapari was in town because his team was playing in San Jose in the NCAA tournament.
He practiced in Sacramento. The Kings obviously caught up with Calapari then, got some intel. But we still didn't know if the Kings were going to be able to select him. We didn't know where the Kings were picking. The lottery comes. We're so disappointed when they fall to seven. People were projecting Acuff at like five. And throughout the process, could he be going to the Nets or the Clippers? Do the Kings have to trade up? Well, they didn't have to trade up. He was on the board at seven. So was Kingston Flemings. They go with Darius Acuff Jr., the certified bucket getter, playmaker dog from Arkansas with the seventh pick overall.
So excited in so many ways. Obviously He's such an elite offensive player. Elite though. Not like, oh yeah, he can do some really good things. Well, maybe he's got some upside. Yeah. No, no. Elite offensive player. Uh, you know, you were reading some of the numbers during our three hour stream about what he can do in catch and shoot situations from three point land.
Forty nine percent on catch and shoot situations. situations.
There we go. You already have it. It just him in the pick and roll, him being able to facilitate the basketball, him understanding the point guard role more and not just being the score first person that he can be also, you know, and just understanding all the elements to this game. Um I am so excited to have Darius Acuff in Sacramento. Also because they needed a point guard, oh so badly. And I wanted them to see have a point guard that they want to grow with too, once again. And obviously, since not being with De'Aaron Fox anymore, it was like, what's gonna be that answer? And hopefully this can be it.
I felt like I was cool with either Flemings or Acom. Same. Like no matter the name, I was gonna be excited. I like both of those guys.
Why did the Kings trade up to select Darius Acuff with the 7th overall pick?
And by the way, it's okay to like more than one player.
It breaking news.
But Darius A Cup, like the resume you you Anyone who watched him this year, and of course, like he shined brightest late in the year, but throughout the season, I mean, it was eye-popping what he's able to do at all three levels. The stats back it up. Obviously, twenty-three and a half points a game last year, six point four assists, first team All American, Bob Coozie Award winner. Um I I think the shooting is so special, especially from NBA range, but just his ability to create his own shot. Like he doesn't need a screen uh to do it.
