Darius Acuff Scouting Summary
Jamie Shaw
11/27/23

Darius Acuff steps on the court with a swagger. He has long arms and a purposeful handle. Acuff is a capable scorer from multiple levels, showing deep range off the bounce or the catch. He is comfortable pulling up in the mid-range and he has a crafty bag around the rim. Acuff is more quick than fast. He has a good first step, getting to his spots, but he needs to continue to work on his burst around the basket. Acuff is a solid passer, making reads and distributing passes on target. He needs to continue getting strong passing off movement. He can also get shot happy. While he has put up big scoring totals, he does so mainly with a lot of shot attempts at this point. His over-dribbling can kill the flow of an offense. Efficiency is a big thing with Acuff, his totals can be inefficient. He has quick hand when guarding the ball in the open floor. He seems to have a competitive fire and no fear. His cousin is Eastern Michigan’s Tyson Acuff.

Personal Life

Darius Acuff, a native of Detroit that played his final years of high school basketball at IMG Academy, said he likes to pattern his game after NBA legends at the point guard position. His favorites are old-school players like Allen Iverson and Stephon Marbury, along with current players like Kyrie Irving, Ja Morant and Trae Young. “I’ve seen every [Iverson] highlight, him and Stephon Marbury, I’ve seen every highlight,” Acuff said. "There's something about their game that you want to add to your game. They were legends, and that's what I want to be, too." Acuff was selected to the USA Basketball Junior National U18 Team in 2024, and he averaged 21 points on Nike’s EYBL Circuit in 2024.
