De’Aaron Fox remembers his ‘Welcome to the NBA’ moment

De’Aaron Fox knew he was going to be an NBA player at an early age. When he was 16, he had figured out that his high-school ranking meant that he could make it to the league in three years just by staying at the same level.

Obviously, Fox didn’t settle. He improved by leaps and bounds during his final two years of high school and then dazzled as a one-and-done at Kentucky. He was always convinced that he belonged in the NBA, and he put in the work to get there. He never thought of himself as an underdog when he got to the league.
