Henderson/Getty ImagesDarius Acuff Jr. has wasted no time shutting down talk of trouble in Sacramento.Darius Acuff Jr. is putting up some impressive numbers in Sacramento, but at times he is treating every possession like his own personal shooting drill. He’s averaging 25.6 points and seven assists, yet he’s throwing up nearly 24 shots a night while barely scraping 39 percent from the floor.You don’t have to look hard to understand why Domantas Sabonis is supposedly sick of it and eyeing the door.Even Draymond Green pulled Acuff aside during the Golden State game, warning the rookie that if he doesn’t start giving up the rock, the Kings veterans are going to lose their patience fast.Darius Acuff Jr. insists there are no issues with the Kings veteransAt a brutal 1-7 through eight games, the Sacramento Kings are in freefall, and dropping this many games early is certainly not helping.However, with the rumor mill spinning out of control, Darius Acuff Jr. didn’t flinch when pressed about his shot volume or the alleged friction in the building.Instead of getting defensive, the rookie waved off the outside noise, claiming the vets have his back through every high and low while making it obvious he has zero plans to change his game.He said on his relationship with the Kings veterans: “It’s great, man. They’re there for me every game, every practice, giving me advice good or bad.”On his shot attempts: “I’m not worried about what the media says. I’m just out here hooping, getting better for my team.”This year’s Rookie of the Year race is shaping up to be an exciting one. You’ve got Caleb Wilson, Yaxel Lendeborg, and Cameron Boozer going off on a nightly basis, while Darius Acuff keeps piling up buckets.Read more:‘Sorry…’ – Skip Bayless sends message to Stephen A.
