Acuff may never be a passable defender. Time will tell. Although, you need to recognize he is still young and he was asked to carry a heavy load on offense and almost outscore teams. Sure he will never be Jrue Holiday. Although do you really think teams would dismiss a Dame Lillard or Jalen Brunson. It is not an either or imo. You find good, smart players. Fill in the holes of things missing or weaknesses and go from there.
