    NBA Draft Profile: De’Aaron Fox, PG, Kentucky Key Stats: 16.7 PPG, 4.0 RPG, 4.6 APG Measurables: 6’3, 187 pounds Strengths: De’Aaron Fox comes into the NBA with a lot of tools that should translate well from his days in college.

He possesses a floater which is vital for a point guard of his body type.

Defensively is where he shines, because of his athletic gifts he is able to challenge ball handlers from 94 feet and is very capable in pick and roll defense. He plays the passing lanes extremely well as evidence of his 1.5 steals per game. I anticipate that for years to come he will be one of the premier two way stars in the league. Lastly his intangibles are a huge selling point, at Kentucky, he was considered the leader which is all the more impressive when you see a roster that included Malik Monk, Isaiah Briscoe and Edrice…

    elements of character, script, and humor so the film fits more comfortably in the 90’s. Frank Cross is just like Ebenezer Scrooge, with his cold, selfish personality.
