De’Aaron Fox passing Lonzo Ball on NBA boards; talks about playing for Knicks

It looks like the NBA may finally be seeing the light on De’Aaron Fox, at least in comparison to Lonzo Ball.

The latter has been widely viewed as the better prospect, but the former is who NBA teams are starting to warm up to. According to ESPN’s Chad Ford, Fox has passed Ball on some NBA teams' big boards. Ford added that Fox could end up going as high as No. 2 overall behind Markelle Fultz in this year’s draft.

That’s no surprise to Fox.

"I feel like I'm the best," Fox said at the NBA Draft Combine last week.
