The Sacramento Kings are expecting big things from first round pick Darius Acuff Jr as he was closely watched during NBA Summer League action (Kings Reddit page photo)

Sacramento Kings podcast Jeremiah Salmonson:

#1 Can first-round pick Darius Acuff Jr. bounce back with a strong all-around performance and show why the Kings invested a high draft pick in him?

#2 Will Alex Karaban build on his recent breakout game and continue to establish himself as one of Sacramento’s most reliable Summer League scorers?

#3 Which undrafted or fringe roster player—such as Emanuel Sharp, Anthony Dell’Orso, or Marquel Sutton—will make the strongest case for a training camp invitation or a two-way contract?

#4 Can the Kings improve their offensive execution after struggling in their recent loss to the Celtics, including a historically low-scoring first quarter?

#5 As the NBA Summer League enters its final stretch, which young Kings players appear closest to earning meaningful opportunities with Sacramento or its G League affiliate during the 2026–27 season?
