2017 NBA Mock Draft 2.0: De’Aaron Fox, Jayson Tatum Rise; Jonathan Isaac, Dennis Smith Fall
By Tony Webb
No. 5 Philadelphia 76ers- De’Aaron Fox (Kentucky, FR, Point Guard)
Another higher riser in the NBA mock draft thanks to a brilliant end of his Freshmen campaign. Fox Averged 21.2 PPG in the month of March and his aggression towards the hoop was in full force Watch the Sweet 16 match-up against UCLA and you’ll see exactly how Fox lands in this spot.
TJ McConnell is not the long-term solution at the point guard position. De’Aaron Fox is a quick, playmaker who sets up teammates nicely, who has an aggressive nature at both ends of the court.
Fox could be just what Philly needs at the point to continue “the process”
