De’Aaron Fox should be the early frontrunner for NBA’s Most Improved Player

Don’t look now, but the Sacramento Kings currently are tied for 6th place in the Western Conference standings with a 16-13 record more than one-third of the way through the season.

One of the biggest contributing factors to the Kings’ success is the play of second-year point guard and former Kentucky Wildcat, De’Aaron Fox.

Fox, the 5th overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft, played decently in his first NBA season after a stellar freshman year at Kentucky, but Fox has taken his play to a new level in his second year, and in turn has had a major role in elevating the play of the entire team.
