Sacramento Kings

De’Aaron Fox 

The Sacramento Kings are building something good. Even though it might not show in wins this season, they have, over the last few seasons, begun to collect some nice young pieces. And their addition from last year, De’Aaron Fox, is the one I believe is going to pop this season.

Fox, during his young career, has drawn comparisons to John Wall and really had some interesting moments during his rookie season this past year. He’s quick, flashy and is excellent on the defensive end.

If he continues to build on his offensive game, Fox could be one of the next great point guards in the NBA. And that could start this season.
