2017 nba draftee - de aaron fox

in chainbb-general •  8 years ago 

Another draftee discussion - dearron fox from university of Kentucky. Fox is projected to be drafted as high as top 5 to top 10 in the middle of ncaa season and then his draft stock skyrocketed and now he is even to be considered to be drafted as high as number 2. So what happen?

During the sweet 16, Fox basically single handedly beat ball and ucla by scoring 39 points. In that game, he basically dominated.

He is quick, has a really pick and roll game but why is he considered as top 5 only before?

His shooting. Early of the ncaa season, he can't score any 3 point basket, his 3fg% is extremely low and given today NBA game, it is just unacceptable.

But during the pre draft workout, he shows the ability to be a good 3 point shooter

He could be draft as high as 2 and seems like he won't get past king (#5)

thank you for reading.

Fox maintained relatively high efficiency in college with a high usage and assist rate. Big question is his range; he was both a reluctant (.154 3PA) and poor (25%) 3 point shooter. Explosive athlete with solid length for the PG position.

de aaron is highly skilled
his 3 pointer are on top but his speed is kinda meh.
but i think he is going to achieve his new goal
from top 10 to No 1#

He is definitely high skilled and one of the pg with the most upside. However it might be tough for him to go for first pick. Lakers might consider him at 2 but i think they will go with ball. Suns may pick him if fultz, ball, and josh jackson are gone, if not, i am sure kings will pick him.

i hope the lakers do consider man

i hope so too, so suns can get josh jackson or lonzo ball =)
