The Sacramento Kings are entering this season with a lot of promising young talent on their roster, and an argument can be made that Kentucky speedster De’Aaron Fox highlights the group.
Going into the draft, Fox was a highly-coveted prospect due to his potential of becoming a top point guard in the NBA. Due to his fantastic (and lone) season with the Kentucky Wildcats, it was enough for the Kings to pull the trigger on Fox with the fifth pick overall in last year’s NBA Draft. With Sacramento having their “point guard of the future”, they hope that Fox can live up to his ceiling and bring the Kings back to relevancy.
