Acuff Shines, Kings Edge Clippers | Sacramento Kings News

Darius Acuff Jr., the seventh pick in the NBA draft, exploded for 19 points, 7 assists, and 2 steals in the Kings’ 91-85 Summer League win over the Clippers — but admitted he needs to shoot smarter and involve his teammates more. Emanuel Sharp led the bench with 21 points, while Dylan Cardwell and Nique Clifford added double-doubles. Meanwhile, Clippers rookie Alex Karaban went scoreless in his debut, and Cam Christie led the team with 15. The game was part of a rookie showdown double-header — with top pick AJ Dybantsa (27) narrowly beating Darryn Peterson (24) in the Wizards’ win over the Jazz — and Acuff’s Kings will face Dybantsa’s Wizards again Sunday.
