The Brooklyn Nets will discover their NBA Draft placement in less than 30 days. 

There's still the strong belief the franchise will land the top pick overall. Although general manager Sean Marks is reminding fans anything can happen once the ping pong balls are taken out. 

As Kings and Nets Roundtable have charted in the past few days, names like Keaton Wagler of Illinois and Kingston Flemings of Houston are potential ideas. Darryn Peterson of Kansas is one more, although he's considered a polarizing talent and there's no telling if he'll enter the draft class.  

Brooklyn can even choose local standout Zuby Ejiofor out of St. John's in the later rounds. Or settle for Isaiah Evans of Duke, one more late round possibility. 

But we're still thinking about the top five picks and the talent available at those selections. Which leads us into discovering how Darius Acuff of Arkansas can fit inside the Nets' facility. 

Here's the best way to verbally illustrate Acuff on the floor:

Imagine the point guard as the quarterback running an RPO (run pass option) style of offense. The QB holds the power the moment he's got the ball. He must know when to pass it or take it in himself if he sees an opening. The man with the ball first in the RPO holds the key to igniting the offense.

Acuff rose as the RPO QB on the hardwood. And delivered explosive results in the process. 

His agility and speed allowed him to create open looks or one-on-one shooting opportunities against defenses. Acuff showed a strong quick release with his shooting once he saw the opportunity unfold. He's even his own shot creator as seen here: 

Acuff operates the basketball version of the RPO in the dribble drive motion offense. The point guard earns the most power in creating the offense from passing to calling his own shots. 

Acuff went on to deliver an astonishing 23.5 points per game with 6.4 assists. 

Acuff faced a loaded schedule with the Razorbacks. He lit up some nationally ranked teams and March Madness qualifiers in the process. 

Acuff dropped 28 on the Arizona Wildcats despite taking the lopsided loss. He poured 30 on SEC rival Vanderbilt during the conference tournament. Acuff lit up another March Madness SEC team in Alabama by dropping 49 points. He even scored 29 on Elite Eight representative Tennessee. 

Scoring at will on the big stage is no problem for Acuff. Should add he dropped 24 and 36 against Hawai'i and High Point, respectively, during the NCAA Tournament. 

The dribble drive is an efficient, explosive system when ran perfectly. 

But it can lead to multiple turnovers...which Acuff had trouble with.

Acuff delivered seven games of committing four bad passes or more. He often took way too many risky lobs which led to the miscues. 

Lastly, Acuff likely needs some bulk as he heads to the league carrying 190-pounds. He does bang inside when he sees a lane opening against defenses. He'll need to add more weight to prepare himself for the punishment. 

Again, Brooklyn features promise in the backcourt with Nolan Traore, Egor Demin and Drake Powell helping comprise the guard movement. 

But Traore is the only one capable of shifting to point guard. Though his high-volume shooting makes him more of a combo guard. 

Acuff addresses more than PG depth here. He's capable of becoming the new lead scorer opposite of Demin and Michael Porter Jr. He's worth taking at No. 3 if the Nets land there.
