Every week, I’m sharing my 2026 NBA Draft scouting notes on who I watched that week and my biggest takeaways. This week’s notes will mostly encapsulate the games from 12/10 – 12/16 with a sprinkling of games from previous dates. Let’s dive into why Darius Acuff has been fantastic, Bennett Stirtz has struggled, and so much more.
Darius Acuff – Arkansas 6’3” 190-pound Freshman Guard
Darius Acuff was fantastic against Texas Tech. He continued to show his improving offensive versatility by knocking down some spot-up jumpers, but he has clearly emerged as the pure PG for this team. There were some instances of him overdribbling, but he’s doing a great job of running the offense, creating out of the pick-and-roll (PNR), getting to his spots, and creating for others. He’s making great decisions while also creating some big-time advantages.
