That Will be much appreciated. Well The Sacramento Kings have wrapped up the Las Vegas Summile with a two and three record. Whether that matters or not, it really doesn't. But similarly, it's never been about wins and losses. It's about finding Building blocks. Evaluating your young talent. and figuring out who deserves a longer look.
As now we head into the Dead period almost. of this MBA off season and who deserves to look As we head towards training camp. Plus the King's preseason schedule was announced. Yesterday. But in today's episode we're going to talk about Who stood out? And who left questions as we went through the Las Vegas summer league this year. But Like Like I know social media is a terrible place.

Which players stood out and why during the Summer League?
shouldn't overreact. Or panic. From somewhere. Like if you've been on the cesspool, that is social media, you've probably seen the hot takes and the overreactions. Darius A. Cuff can't shoot. He was the wrong pick at seven. He's a bust. Let's slow our roll and slow down. Summerly has never been about efficiency. It's about learning learning how to play against NBA athletes. While carrying an offense. And Acuff has shown exactly what made him a lottery pick. He gets wherever he wherever he wants on the floor. He's creating shots for his teammates. He's comfortable running the pick and roll. He never looks afraid. Of the of that moment. The jumpo? wasn't consistently fallen. But that's the easiest thing to improve.
And what you can't teach is his poise. Creativity. And confidence one of his best performance. Came with twenty six points, five assists. showing the offensive upside that made him one of the top guards. In this draught leading up to Last month's NBA draft. And like summer isn't about Percentages. Every year fans overreact. We've seen stars struggle. In somebody. Before they become all stars. Faster defenders. Different Offensive systems, new teammates, and ACUF is still creating quality looks. And those short shots? will start to fall. They just will.
How should Darius Acuff’s shooting struggles be interpreted?
The process looks much better. Then if you look at the box school from all Five of those games that the Kings played in Las Vegas. Now let's look at the Cooper flag comparison to last year's number one pick for the Dallas Mavericks. One thing that stands out. This summer is how quickly people judge rookies. Even the highly touted prospects. Like Cooper Flag. Have had stretches would No His efficiency wasn't elite. And summary the difference, people focus on the overall impact. Instead of just shooting percentages. That's exactly How Darius Acoff should be evaluated. So I ask you To ask yourself. Is ACUF creating advantages? Is he making the right reads? Or is he Getting into the paint. And is he competing defensively?
The episode. Is up to you. 'Cause we saw it in that Brooklyn game where the Keens got absolutely bullied. And out hustle The lack of Defensive Effort by ACO was non existent. Those are far more important than shooting thirty eight percent. Over four or five Gains. In the summerly. Like Let's slow our roll when we talk about somebody. Next, Emmanuel Sharp. is absolutely MBA ready. We saw what he did in the California classic. And we saw what he did in the Las Vegas summary. If there's one player who has consistently impressed.
