Darius Acuff Jr. didn’t look like a rookie! Deuce and Mo discuss how comfortable the 19-year-old looked in his preseason debut, handling the Lakers’ size, length and pressure without getting sped up.
They also get into an ugly Kings opener, what went wrong defensively, LA’s physicality on both ends and what to take from Sacramento’s 127–103 loss without getting carried away over one preseason game.
Plus, KAT’s contract issues in New York, LeBron’s helicopter trip from Philly to NYC and Jalen Duren staying with the Pistons as the pressure grows in Detroit.
