As the 2026 NBA Draft approaches, the Sacramento Kings hold the seventh overall pick and are eyeing point guard Darius Acuff Jr. NBA insider Jake Fischer noted that while rival teams may attempt to trade up ahead of Sacramento, the Kings are reportedly comfortable staying at their current position. There are rumors connecting the Clippers and Nets to Acuff, but the talent pool at point guard is deep enough that the Kings may still secure a strong lead guard even if he is selected earlier. General manager Scott Perry's history with Acuff's family could also influence their strategy.
