No. 4 Philadelphia Sixers: PG De'Aaron Fox


School: Kentucky


Position: Point Guard

Class: Freshman


2016-17 Stats: 16.7 ppg, 4.6 apg, 4.0 rpg, 1.4 spg, .479 FG%, .246 3P%


Outlook: Fox had a great month of March and his play in the tournament means he has a good chance to slide into the top five. You're not getting a knockdown shooter with Fox, but he's a fierce competitor who is one of the quickest players in the draft. Fox gets most of his points by attacking the basket and pushing the offense up the floor in a hurry. Philadelphia could go a number of a different directions. This Sixers team could afford to add another guard whether it is a point or shooting guard. Barring a crazy draft lottery, Philadelphia will have options. De'Aaron Fox gives Philadelphia their point guard of the future to go with a team that is long and athletic down low. The Sixers will be one of the teams to watch next year with the return of Ben Simmons to pair with the players they get in the draft. Could they go with Jayson Tatum if given the opportunity? It is within the range of possibilities, but not sure Tatum is the best player to pair with Simmons given they have a good bit of similarities. On another note, imagine if the Lakers fall out of the top three, and the Sixers have two picks in the top five. (Getty)
