With all of the talk about collegiate athletes wanting to be compensated for their contribution to the millions of dollars each university makes per year, a former Kentucky Wildcats star, who’s now excelling in the NBA, was asked if being compensated in college would have changed his decision to go pro.
Sacramento Kings star point guard De’Aaron Fox had a simple answer to if paying one-and-done players like himself would have kept him at Kentucky for at least another year.
After Fox and his fellow running mates Bam Adebayo and Malik Monk left for the NBA draft, Kentucky followed up an Elite Eight exit in 2017 with a disappointing Sweet 16 loss in 2018.
