CHICAGO — The Nets have the No. 6 pick in the 2026 NBA Draft. noti.group’s Brian Lewis looks at four guard options they could consider from the NBA draft combine.
Darius Acuff Jr.
6’2 barefoot, 186 lbs., 6’7 wingspan, 8’2.5 standing reach
Shooting off the dribble: 80.0% (24-of-30, fifth at the combine)
Spot-up shooting: 76% (19-of-25, tied for second at the combine)
The skinny: One of the biggest winners so far. He helped his stock on Day 1 by measuring in with a 6-foot-7 wingspan, the best of any of the pure point guards likely to go in the lottery. With his lack of size being a huge knock (worries that he’d be just 6-feet), measuring 6-foot-2 without shoes put that the rest. Then he came out Tuesday and lit up the shooting drills, second-best in the spot up shooting and fifth in shooting off the dribble. Now, he just has to guard.
