PG. Kentucky. De'Aaron Fox. 4. player. 66.

HT: 6’4″  WT: 171  WINGSPAN: 6’6 ½”   Age: 19

De’Aaron Fox doesn’t quite have the measurements that Fultz and Ball do at the point guard position, but he’s still above average. His best attributes are his speed, leaping ability and explosiveness. They’ll make him hard to stay in front of at the next level.

On the downside, he really needs to work on that three-point shot. He attempted less than two per game last season and hit on less than 25 percent of those.
