What happened: The Sacramento Kings are featuring rookie guard Darius Acuff Jr. as part of their offseason coverage, revisiting his selection at the 2026 NBA Draft. Acuff was taken by Sacramento with the No. 7 overall pick.

Why it matters: Acuff arrives as a backcourt building block for the Kings heading into the 2026-27 season. He was the guard Sacramento's front office had targeted, the same Darius Acuff Jr. taken at No. 7 overall, adding youth and upside to the rotation.

What to watch: Attention turns to summer league and training camp, where Acuff will get his first reps in a Kings uniform ahead of the 2026-27 season.
