De’Aaron Fox may be the next elite point guard to come out of Kentucky. He is quickly rising up draft boards as scouts are given more time to break down his excellent play during the NCAA tournament. He is super quick and was able to flash all of his strengths at Kentucky. Fox also presents with good size and wingspan for a point guard, making him all that more intriguing.

What to expect on the Timberwolves
"De’Aaron Fox, who got the best of Ball in the NCAA Tournament, has a chance to grow into the best point guard to come out of this draft, even if his odds may be a little longer than his more advanced peers. Fox will need to get stronger to better handle the rigors of the NBA game, but otherwise has clearly defined, but improvable, weaknesses, and has a chance to be a major long-term piece for whichever team ultimately drafts him if he can develop his body and game around his elite speed and quickness."
