Sacramento drafts De'Aaron Fox with the fifth pick in the draft
The Sacramento Kings have selected Kentucky Wildcats guard De'Aaron Fox with the fifth overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft.
What It Means:
The Kings have been looking for their point guard of the future and now have him in Fox. The Kentucky freshman will pair with Buddy Hield in a young Kings' backcourt with former starting point guard Darren Collison likely leaving in free agency.
A great distributor, Fox averaged 8.3 assists per 100 possessions in his one season at Kentucky.
