Darius Acuff 2026 NBA Draft Combine Worn Jersey

This NBA Draft Combine jersey was worn by Darius Acuff on May 12, 2026 in Chicago, at Wintrust Arena and the Marriott Marquis Hotel.

With strong physical tools for a lead guard, a 6'2.0" frame, 185.8 lbs build, and a 6'6.5" wingspan, Darius Acuff Jr. brings elite three-level scoring, historically rare playmaking production, and an advanced feel for the game to the point guard position. He measured a 36.5" max vertical, a 10.99-second pro lane agility time, a 2.93-second shuttle run, and an 8'2.5" standing reach at the 2026 NBA Draft Combine. His measurements were considered one of the biggest stories of combine week, with evaluators and front offices noting that his 6'2" barefoot height and 6'6.5" wingspan compare closely to Damian Lillard's 2012 combine profile, comfortably putting to rest the pre-combine height concerns that had generated significant discussion leading into Chicago.

Acuff is coming out of the University of Arkansas, where he played one season as a true freshman under John Calipari. He averaged 23.5 points, 6.4 assists, 3.1 rebounds, and 0.8 steals per game across 36 games on 48.4% from the field, 44.0% from three, and 80.9% from the free throw line, becoming the only player in Division I to average at least 20 points and six assists. He set Arkansas single-season records for points (845) and assists (232), joined Pete Maravich as the only players in SEC history to lead the league in both scoring and assists in the same season, and joined Anthony Davis and Brandon Miller as the only players to sweep SEC Player of the Year and SEC Freshman of the Year in the same year. He won the Bob Cousy Award as the nation's top point guard, becoming the first freshman and first Razorback to claim it, earned unanimous First-Team All-American honors from the AP, NABC, USBWA, and The Sporting News, and was a finalist for both the Naismith Trophy and the Wooden Award. He led Arkansas to a 28-9 record, the SEC Tournament championship, and the NCAA Sweet 16. His signature individual moment came at Alabama, where he scored a career-high 49 points on 27 shot attempts across 50 minutes in a double-overtime loss, hitting a three-pointer with 12 seconds remaining to force the first overtime.

Acuff and Trae Young are the only two freshmen this century in Power 5 conferences to average 23 or more points and six or more assists per game, a comparison that captures both his ceiling and the scouting debate: elite offensive production and shot-making, paired with questions about on-ball defense and switching scheme fit. Acuff brings championship-caliber poise and a relentless scoring appetite to the backcourt. Combining historically dominant freshman production, a three-level offensive arsenal, elite playmaking, and solid combine measurements, Acuff projects as a high-impact starting point guard who should compete for All-Star appearances as a proven offensive engine at the next level.
