With yet another loss under their belt, it's looking like the Milwaukee Bucks will have a favorable pick in the first-round of the 2026 NBA Draft. In FanSided's latest mock, the Bucks select Arkansas guard Darius Acuff Jr. with the 11th overall pick. While Acuff is quickly rising up draft boards, he presents the ultimate boom or bust player that could dictate Milwaukee's direction moving forward.
Acuff has the talent to be a great player (with question marks)
On paper, Acuff has all of the tools to be a lead guard in the NBA. He's a pure bucket-getting machine, recently exploding for 49 points in an overtime defeat, capable of putting points on the board from all three levels.
