I didn’t see him at Michigan state, I was in fourth grade. I heard before he got hurt he was a problem

I can squint and see some Dame in Acuff.

High praise. Dude is special. Chris Paul in college might be the best I’ve seen off the top of my head. Acuff in the category. Must see tv. Hoping he has a great tourney.

I see it too. It’s uncanny how much he moves like Marburry tho. Kinda crazy when you watch them side by side. I see some of the Dame comps too. Especially off the bounce to 3 ball.

CBS sports had Acuff at #20, in their latest mock just four days ago.
B Sox
, or someone else who hates “small” guards must’ve wrote that mock….because shorty is top 5-10 easy

If we are just going off of the college tape this guy blows Darryn Peterson away. Being honest. It would take Peterson 2 months to rack up as much assist as Acuff had in this one game

20 is nuts. All those guards are in the 5-12 or so range.CBS sports had Acuff at #20, in their latest mock just four days ago.

Shooting will always be a premium trait. Yall just love overvaluing these little flashy dudes that can barely shoot over the years

The Curious Case of Koa Peat…. He’s gonna have to start producing or come back to Arizona. He’s had flashes, a couple performances where he stood out on offense or defense, but that’s it.

Don’t think he’s coming back to school. He’s playing a role. Jumper needs to improve a lot but he has some playmaking 4 skills he’s not showing.

That’s the thing I like about Peterson, when he’s on it’s looks the most impressive and effortless out of all the prospects…If his issues are injuries and it can be fixed it’ll be hard to pass up on that kind of ceiling

I feel like people are getting skill AND athleticism confused with Peterson.
His film vs grown, collegiate athletes kind of equalizes him. He doesn’t look like a superior athlete. Ray Allen’s early athleticism being downplayed is CRAZY.
Peterson looks like Devin Booker out there to me. He looks like he’s making plays because he’s highly SKILLED. Not elite athletically vs other grown men.
He doesn’t look like Ant, let alone DWade athletically IMO.

His handle and shiftiness are good enough for him to get to spots where he’s comfortable shooting jumpers, even if a bit contested. He’s definitely a good “tough shot maker”.
What he hasn’t displayed any bit of in college is an explosiveness to then get in paint and put pressure on the rim. Can’t get by his defender ENOUGH and challenge bigs.

If he had like Jalen Green’s athleticism, I’d be all in on the hyperbolic stuff. But he doesn’t.

Pending tourney performance, he’s the first surprise on draft night
