Rookies to watch: Darius Acuff Jr.'s 32 and 10 puts him back on top

Kings rookie Darius Acuff Jr. scored 32 points with 10 assists and five rebounds in Sunday's 114-108 home loss to Miami, and the NBA says that makes him and LeBron James the only teenagers in league history with multiple games of 30 points and 10 assists. That puts Acuff first on this week's list of NBA rookies to watch. Every number below comes from ESPN's season stats and box scores through Sunday.

1. Darius Acuff Jr., Kings (No. 7 pick). Acuff averages 25.9 points and 7.4 assists, both tops among rookies. The NBA says his 259 points and 74 assists through 10 games put him with Oscar Robertson as the only players to reach 250 and 70 in that span. He is still shooting 41.3 percent.

2. Yaxel Lendeborg, Warriors (No. 11). Last week's No. 1 averages 21.2 points, 7.2 rebounds and four assists on 50.4 percent shooting and 40.4 percent from three. He is the most efficient scorer on this list.

3. Caleb Wilson, Bulls (No. 4). Wilson had 18 points and two steals in Sunday's 127-121 home loss to Philadelphia. He averages 19.3 points, 1.9 steals and a block.

4. Cameron Boozer, Grizzlies (No. 3). Boozer is averaging a double-double at 15.6 points and 10 rebounds with 5.2 assists. The shooting, at 33.9 percent, is the thing to fix.

5. Darryn Peterson, Jazz (No. 2). Peterson scored 26 on 11-of-21 shooting with four threes in a 115-100 loss at Minnesota. He averages 14.8 points and makes 36.5 percent of his threes.

6. AJ Dybantsa, Wizards (No. 1). The top pick averages 16 points and 5.8 rebounds in six games.

7. Keaton Wagler, Clippers (No. 5). Wagler made 4 of 5 shots, three of them threes, for 15 points in 18 minutes of a 139-123 win over New Orleans. He shoots 39 percent from deep.

Keep an eye on: Cavaliers second-round pick Meleek Thomas averages 12.3 points and is making 45 percent of his threes in seven games.

Acuff has the biggest numbers in the class and now has history on his side, while Lendeborg is still the cleaner shooter on a better team. Watch Peterson's next few games to see whether Sunday was the start of a run.
