2017 NBA Draft
2017 NBA Draft

De'Aaron Fox - Sacramento Kings

Sacramento Kings v Los Angeles Lakers
Kings are betting big on Fox

Fox has been a revelation since Game 1, averaging above 12 points per game and 5.2 assists a game, which is a great stat line for any rookie. He is also getting great support from the Kings backroom, starting over George Hill at times and averaging more minutes than the veteran guard, which shows the faith they have in him.

The only thing that is not up to scratch is his FG% from beyond the arc, which is at under 20% (17.6%), his overall FG% is just over 40%. He would a real candidate for Rookie of the Year if he improves his shooting.

HYPE: 7/10
