Mikel Brown Jr. and the Brooklyn Nets take on Darius Acuff and the Sacramento Kings in a point-guard lottery-pick showdown.

After the first four picks in the 2026 NBA Draft, the story was about six potential franchise-changing lead guards. The Brooklyn Nets (1-1) selected Mikel Brown Jr. with the sixth overall pick after his abbreviated freshman season at Louisville. The Sacramento Kings (1-1) took Darius Acuff Jr. with the very next pick, giving the team a building block for another rebuild. Both guards had dynamic freshman seasons in college. Both opened up NBA Summer League with eye-opening performances. Now the two lottery picks face off for the first time as professionals in Las Vegas.
