SACRAMENTO — The 2017 NBA Draft was point guard heavy and as the top players began to come off the board, Markelle Fultz the No. 1 overall pick followed by Lonzo Ball to the Lakers at No. 2 and then De'Aaron Fox to the Sacramento Kings at No. 5, Dennis Smith Jr. listened to the hype from the enthusiastic analysts.
The talk about Fox was speed and it has proven to be true. Fox, now in his second year, has displayed the celebrated end-to-end speed to help turn the Kings into a contender for a playoff spot in the Western Conference.
