Giants release their longest-tenured player, wide receiver Darius Slayton - Yahoo

Darius Acuff Jr. finished Thursday’s exhibition against the Lakers with 12 points (4-of-15 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), one assist, two steals, one block and two three-pointers. Outside of a solid finish to the first half, Acuff struggled mightily on Thursday. The rookie point guard missed his first nine field-goal attempts, and he finished with more turnovers (three) than assists (one). Reading too much into two preseason appearances would be foolish, but those who roster Acuff will need to exercise patience.

The Sacramento Kings' top draft pick, Darius Acuff Jr., looked efficient and dynamic in the team's preseason debut. But, how will he fare through a full 82-game season, especially with defenses already honing in on his offensive capabilities.
