No.11 Sacramento Kings- De’Aaron Fox (Kentucky, FR, Point Guard)
*This pick is Top-10 Protected with Chicago (Currently this pick would belong to Chicago)
The Sacramento Kings have a staple of the lottery for years now and the departure of DeMarcus Cousins has them looking to stay that way. A complete rebuild is in store for Sacramento and the point guard position is a key to success in today’s NBA.
De’Aaron Fox is a quick, playmaker who sets up teammates nicely. Fox has a good defense presence, which the Kings would welcome. His offense is a work in progress and lacks a serious. Fox would be a nice value at 11.
If Chicago were to snag this pick, Fox would also be a solid selection for the retooling Bulls.
