67. For a team that has had both front office and locker room issues, De’Aaron Fox makes too much sense for the Sacramento Kings. We know they’re infatuated with him, likely due to his two-way potential and high character. That type of personality could be as important to the Kings as a player’s upside. They desperately need a player that can excite his teammates and the fans. Fox is lightning quick and loves playing defense — a dream come true for head coach Dave Joerger. Fox’s shooting is certainly cause for concern, but he was a decent shooter in high school. That’s not to say he’ll be a good shooter at the next level; it’s much more likely he’ll be around league average and that could be enough convincing for the Kings. With a second pick at No. 10, the Kings should come away with a point guard with this pick.. PG. N.C. State. De'Aaron Fox. 5. player
