Darius Acuff talks defense and guarding his matchup with Draymond
βYou can ask any of my coaches in college, no matter how many defensive mistakes I made every night, if they tried to put me on a 2 or a 3, I'm like 'man I'm not guarding no 3, I play the point man, I'm guarding the point guard man' especially if it's like a matchup... like if I'm not guarding you and you not guarding me, it ain't no matchup, we just hooping out here so I definitely like to guard my matchup.β

Darius Acuff on the biggest takeaways from his NBA Draft workouts so far
βI ain't gonna lie, you gotta be in shape... the first workout was crazy, I'm gassed, I'm in there by myself, I'm doing 1-on-0's so it's a different type of environment...I've been learning how to ask more questions, just seeing how the game goes, we young, we freshmen so we wanna know how it goes... I've been drinking water more than I ever been π.β

Draymond on what's important for the Knicks in their defense of Victor Wembanyama
βWhat's very important when trying to guard Victor Wembanyama is your point of attack defender and that'll probably be OG Anunoby... When Victor Wembanyama's in the paint, he's probably the most dangerous lob threat in NBA history, what then becomes most important is the size around the point of attack defender of Wemby... because if you don't have size, then you don't stand a chance.β
Draymond on Kenny Atkinson comments on Cavs 'analytically' winning series vs. Knicks
βI don't make much of it because what Kenny's talking about when he talk about the expected score... every game, the coaches get an expected score of the game based on all these different facts, you talk about sports gambling and why people on NBA teams can't bet, that's what Kenny is talking about... Analytics play a huge role in what you see your NBA team do.β
Draymond APOLOGIZES for saying Knicks fans will experience 15 more years of misery
βI apologize for this one cause I said 15 years of misery and the reality is, y'all fired your coach and you brought in a coach that won a championship with us... and y'all went and got more players like Mikal Bridges and Karl-Anthony Towns, so yeah, so I'd apologize for that oneβ
Draymond on SGA's Foul-Baiting And Flopping
βShai, you've reached a new level of greatness my man... you got sports media coming out and talking about what they don't like about your greatness, as if Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is running up and down the court with the whistle in his mouth calling a foul for himself... you all think the NBA is that easy to where this guy just flops and goes to the free throw line and he becomes the back to back MVP? We really gonna dumb the NBA down to that?β
Draymond on Dylan Harper's breakout for the Spurs
βWow! I had no clue that he was this special. With his play, he takes this team from being in the pipeline to win a championship soon to they can win a championship right now...People, he not even super comfortable with his 3 ball yet, imagine next year or next 2 years and he just rising up from 3?!.. This series right now is so important for what the next 5 years, 10 years possibly looks like in the NBA.β
Draymond on Wemby's historic Game 1 against the Thunder and if it's a Top 5 Playoff Performance he's seen
βIt has to be up there... he did everything he had to do to make sure they won that game including defensively, some of the shots that Shai normally takes he didn't even take, that's the presence of Victor Wembanyama... (rest of Top 5) Klay Thompson Game 6 in OKC, LeBron James Game 5 versus Pistons, Steph Curry Game 4 In Boston, and Kawhi Leonard versus the 76ers.β
Draymond on James Harden defensive struggles against Jalen Brunson
βWhen you're trying to compete at a championship level, you must have guys that want to take on that challenge and say "I'm not switching at this point in the game"... but you got guys in there that don't really want that challenge, they don't wanna fight through the screen and say "this my matchup, I wanna stop this guy"... it is not James Harden's job to guard Jalen Brunson 1-on-1, it's not what he's paid to do, some of those other guys who's just switching off, it is your f**king job.β

Draymond on SGA Winning MVP, Shams Leaking It, And SGA/Wemby Matchup Tonight
βShams leaked it, it's actually embarrassing, it makes our league look like we have no organization, like that's child's play... It's the conference finals, you (Wemby) got all the motivation you need, however it is tough emotionally to see your guy get that award and then reset and go play...I would not be surprised if OKC struggles a bit coming out in this game.β
Draymond on NBA Combine
βIt's one of the shittiest few days of your career, you're doing all these meetings where you get asked these dumba** questions, you go into all these medical appointments where they only wanna red flag you and drop your draft stock... the NBA combine is not as beneficial as the NFL combine, somebody can go from a 5th round pick to a 2nd round pick, that ain't really happening in the NBA combine, which is why I think it's actually pointless.β
Draymond on Sixers Firing Daryl Morey
βBob Myers has been to Daryl Morey what Michael Jordan was like to Stockton and Malone, like you've done some great work but... Daryl Morey couldn't get over the hump due to teams that Bob Myers was putting together and now Daryl Morey is losing his role as President of Basketball Operations due to Bob Myers making the basketball decisions in Philly. Daryl Morey just keeps running into Bob Myers.β
