De’Aaron Fox is considered by most to be a top-5 prospect in the 2017 NBA Draft. He is extremely fast, a great defender, and plays hard every single night.
The biggest concern surrounding Fox however, is his jump shot. He shot only 24.6 percent from three-point range in his lone season at Kentucky, an alarming number during this era of pace-and-space basketball.
The Los Angeles Lakers worked Fox out on Tuesday, and afterwards Fox spoke about wanting to show he can shoot the ball better than he showed in college according to Chris McGee of Spectrum SportsNet:
Fox wanted to show he could shoot the ball well… wanted to show he's a fighter

Fox is believed to be an extremely hard worker and he says that he has been working hard on that jump shot ever since he declared for the draft via Spectrum SportsNet’s Mike Bresnahan:
