Suns Squared: De’Aaron Fox

De’Aaron spent most of the season in the shadow of Malik Monk and the other top guards in the country, at least when it came to where experts believed he would be slotted in the NBA draft. That all changed in the Sweet Sixteen when Fox put up 39 points while putting Lonzo Ball through the spin cycle and thrusting himself into the top-5 draft conversation.

Fox’s Sweet Sixteen performance was a microcosm of his personal game as a whole. He displayed elite athleticism; he got to the basket and free throw line with ease; he played fiery defense; he paced Kentucky’s offense; and he downright controlled the game from start to finish.
