The tag line on De’Aaron Fox’s Twitter page: “Be Phenomenal or Be Forgotten.”
You can argue this 2016-17 edition is no one-man team. You can make the case for Malik Monk’s point production or Isaiah Briscoe’s will to win or Bam Adebayo’s recent consistency. You can warn against overlooking the senior contributions of Dominique Hawkins, Derek Willis and Mychal Mulder.
For my money, however, these Wildcats will make a sizable dent in the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament only if De’Aaron Fox, their fleet point guard, hits on all cylinders.
That’s the Fox we saw last weekend in Nashville as Kentucky captured yet another SEC Tournament title.
