Darius Acuff Jr. is drawing comparisons to Damian Lillard from a handful of NBA scouts.
When going back and watching Lillard at Weber State, an extremely similar playing style.
Acuff and Lillard also share a nearly identical measured height and wingspan.
He is the guy outside of the top 4 that has an elite ceiling. I think he has a chance to approach Lillard level. The thing is, with his defense, if his offense is a few notches below he is basically an elite 6th man. A team picking after 4 that does not have a potential superstar would have to be tempted as he would be their best shot. Given his measurements were better than expected/feared, I don't see any way he gets past 7.
