Benefit the Least from March Madness: De’Aaron Fox (PG, Kentucky)
As a high school stud, De’Aaron Fox looked and played like John Wall 2.0 due to his size, length and explosiveness. Though those things were still evident from De’Aaron’s game as Kentucky’s point guard this year, many also noticed his inability to shoot well on a consistent basis. Fox shot 48 percent from the field during the regular season, which isn’t terrible, but a putrid 24 percent from three-point range, which is quite terrible for college.
Many regard him as more streaky than reliable.
"[via NBADraft.net] Can be a streaky shooter. More of a scorer than consistent shooter right now"
In the NBA, it’s almost mandatory for guards to shoot well and consistently. Thus, Fox has to start shooting better period.
The deeper Kentucky goes in the tournament, the higher the chances also for Fox’s weaknesses to be seen by all. He may end up being a part of a Final Four team. Yet, his lottery status will plummet down if he continues to be streaky at best.
