I thought the NBA had already started moving away from undersized guards who can’t defend. Trae Young had little to no trade market at the deadline, nobody wants Ja Morant, Cam Thomas has been exiled, and guys like Tyrese Maxey and Austin Reaves were clearly targeted defensively in the playoffs.

With Darius Acuff Jr., I don’t doubt he’ll put up numbers on a bad team, but what’s the argument that his style of play actually translates to winning playoff basketball?
