Dwyane Wade says Darius Acuff Jr. is giving the Sacramento Kings an identity and should keep shooting “Most people do not talk about the Sacramento Kings. Most people are not staying up to even watch the Sacramento Kings. Especially if you living on the East Coast. So it's conversations going on around the Sacramento Kings already. As a guy who was drafted as their first pick, he's doing his job. He got everybody watching the Sacramento Kings. When you bring a guy in, that guy not only need to do his job on the court, but to grow the brand, people got to talk about you off the court” “When you have an organization, and when you get a high pick, you're trying to get a guy that you can build around, that can change your organization. So they found a guy who they feel that they want to build around. Obviously, he's having conversations with someone to tell him he got the ultra green light” “When you draft a guard that is really ultra-aggressive, that is really good, that has the respect around the league, that changes who wants to come and play with you, who wants to be a part of the organization, everything. So instead of talking about his shot attempts, let's talk about the fact that they got somebody that they can build around that everybody around the league going to respect” “Everybody don’t want the ball. Everybody don't want to shoot. Everybody don't want the responsibility. This kid is showing you that he wants the responsibility. The shots that he's missed early in the season when y'all talk about his field goal percentage, he will not miss later because he knows where his shots is coming from, what he's going to shoot is going to get even more comfortable and confident in that. His percentages are only going to go up”
