Fox’s Future Depends on his Jump Shot

Point guard De’Aaron Fox is one of the fastest players we’ve ever seen with a basketball in his hands in a Kentucky uniform. If not for John Wall, that honor would without question be Fox’s.

Sam Vecenie profiled Fox’s shooting ailment for Vice Sports. Because it’s Vice, there are plenty of incomprehensible metrics used to describe how good he’s been, especially with short range floaters, followed by how terrible he’s shot the basketball this season.
