Acuff posted 12 points (4-15 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one assist, two steals and one block across 23 minutes during Thursday's 114-110 preseason loss to the Lakers.
Sacramento's top 2026 draft pick opened 1-of-10 from the field before hitting three straight shots late in the first half, but he struggled for most of the night. There's little doubt Acuff will man the point guard role in the first unit once the season begins, but some rough shooting nights as he adjusts to NBA play are to be expected.
