Prospect Profile: De’Aaron Fox

Basketball, NBA Draft, Prospect Profiles

Leading up to the 2017 NBA Draft, we will be diving into what our Draft Models tell us about this year’s top prospects. Our NBA Draft Models include the PNSP Model, NBA Role Probability Model, and Similarity Scores which each provide unique ways of evaluating college prospects. Our Prospect Profiles look at which stats positively/negatively affect NBA projections, unique data points from a player’s stats, and relevant comparisons to current NBA players. You can find links to all of our Prospect Profiles in the header menu above (NBA –> NBA Draft –> Prospect Profiles). In this article, we look at a prospect who propelled his draft stock in this year’s NCAA Tournament in De’Aaron Fox.

De’Aaron Fox | PG | Kentucky | Freshman

Draft Express #5 | Model 284 PNSP #8
Physical Measurements: 6’3.25″ | 170lbs | Wingspan: 6’6.5″ | Max Vertical: 38.5″
Top Player Comps: Tyler Ennis, Chris Duhon, Marquis Teague

Age PTS/40 TRB/40 AST/40 STL/40 BLK/40
19.5 22.6 5.4 6.2 2.0 0.3
Model 284
Ratings		 PNSP All-Star % Starter % Bench % Non-NBA %
83.2  28.9%  52.1%  6.0%  13.1%

There has been perhaps more buzz surrounding De’Aaron Fox over the past few months than any other draft prospect. His stock has continuously risen since his 39-point performance in a win over Lonzo Ball and the UCLA Bruins in the NCAA tournament. Now, Fox sits at #5 in the latest DraftExpress mock draft, and there have been rumors of him going even higher than that:

While there are still differing opinions on how much success Fox will have in the NBA, here is what our models have to say about the latest John Calipari product.

Scoring

The first thing that jumps out for De’Aaron Fox is our models projecting him as an exceptional scorer at his position, specifically on 2-point FGs. He also projects well above average in terms of free throw attempts, but well below average on free throw percentage. Finally, he projects as a poor 3-point shooter in terms of both volume and accuracy. All of these factors together suggest that Fox should be a great scorer/finisher at the rim, but will continue to struggle on outside shots. At Kentucky, Fox shot 64% at the rim but just 33% on jump shots, per Hoop Math. As further support to this view, many of Fox’s player comps from our Similarity Score Tool (shown below) fit a mold of explosive athlete/poor shooter – namely, Russell Westbrook and Derrick Rose, who both have All-NBA caliber scoring ability despite average/below average outside shooting:

Other Areas of the Game

In areas other than scoring, Fox projects above average (but not elite) in terms of assists, rebounds, and steals, relative to other guards. Though he projects well in these areas statistically, one physical concern is whether his light frame (weighed 170lbs at the NBA Combine) will make it difficult for him to have success in the NBA against stronger, bigger competition.

The only other area where he projects slightly below average is in blocks, which is not a surprise given he only had 7 blocks in 36 games as a Freshman at Kentucky. While blocks may not seem important for a PG, they have shown to be a good measure of athleticism and defensive instincts. For example, Kris Dunn, John Wall, and Dwyane Wade all had 19+ blocks as college guards and now have a defensive box plus/minus of 0.5 or greater. With many scouts touting Fox as a lock-down defender, it is interesting to see this stat trend in the opposite direction.

Conclusions

De’Aaron Fox’s PNSP score of 83.2 ranks 8th in this year’s class, while his combined All-Star + Starter probability (81%) ranks 4th (behind only Lonzo Ball, Jonathan Isaac, and Josh Jackson) giving him one of the best floor/ceiling combinations in this year’s class.

These strong predictions coupled with Fox’s athleticism, defensive upside, and his high scoring projection make it easy to see why he has climbed near the top of many NBA draft boards. With that said, his extremely poor NBA shooting projection raises a red flag considering the importance of shooting in today’s NBA. Given these shooting struggles, Fox could fit nicely next to a knock-down shooting guard such as Devin Booker or D’Angelo Russell but could prove worrisome on a team that already lacks outside shooting such as Orlando or Minnesota. Ultimately, the models see Fox carving out a starting-level role or better in the NBA in spite of his shooting flaws. And while shooting is important, we have not reached the point where you must shoot 40% from three in order to see the floor, and Fox should be serviceable or better in all areas of the game other than outside shooting.

  198. What’s up?

    I found this article very interesting…please read!

    Do you remember the blockbuster hit film The Matrix that was released in 1999? You may not know this, but it has deep spiritual implications concerning the times we are living in and Bible prophecy.

    It tells a story of how these “agents” are trying to turn us into machines. We are closer then ever before for this to become a reality when they cause us to receive an implantable microchip in our body during a time when physical money will be no more.

    You may have seen on NBC news concerning the implantable RFID microchip that some people are getting put in their hand to make purchases, but did you know this microchip matches perfectly with prophecy in the Bible?

    “He (the false prophet who deceives many by his miracles) causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name…

    You also may have heard of the legendary number “666” that people have been speculating for possibly thousands of years on what it actually means. This article shares something I haven’t seen before, and I don’t think there could be any better explanation for what it means to calculate 666. This is no hoax. Very fascinating stuff!

    …Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666″ (Revelation 13:16-18 NKJV).

    To see all the details showing why the Bible foretold of all these things, check out this article!

    Article: https://biblewoke.com/rfid-mark-of-the-beast-666-revealed

    GOD is sending out His end time warning:

    “Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, ‘If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand, he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation. He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name'” (Revelation 14:9-11).

    In the Islamic religion they have man called the Mahdi who is known as their messiah of whom they are waiting to take the stage. There are many testimonies from people online who believe this man will be Barack Obama who is to be the biblical Antichrist based off dreams they have received. I myself have had strange dreams about him like no other person. So much so that I decided to share this information.

    He came on stage claiming to be a Christian with no affiliation to the Muslim faith…

    “In our lives, Michelle and I have been strengthened by our Christian faith. But there have been times where my faith has been questioned — by people who don’t know me — or they’ve said that I adhere to a different religion, as if that were somehow a bad thing,” – Barack Obama

    …but was later revealed by his own family members that he indeed is a devout Muslim.

    So what’s in the name? The meaning of someones name can say a lot about a person. God throughout history has given names to people that have a specific meaning tied to their lives. How about the name Barack Obama? Let us take a look at what may be hiding beneath the surface…

    “And He (Jesus) said to them (His disciples), ‘I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven'” (Luke 10:18).

    In the Hebrew language we can uncover the meaning behind the name Barack Obama.

    Barack, also transliterated as Baraq, in Hebrew is: lightning

    baraq – Biblical definition:

    From Strongs H1299; lightning; by analogy a gleam; concretely a flashing sword: – bright, glitter (-ing, sword), lightning. (Strongs Hebrew word H1300 baraq baw-rawk’)

    Barak ‘O’bamah, The use of bamah is used to refer to the “heights” of Heaven.

    bamah – Biblical definition:

    From an unused root (meaning to be high); an elevation: – height, high place, wave. (Strongs Hebrew word H1116 bamah baw-maw’)

    The day following the election of Barack Obama (11/04/08), the winning pick 3 lotto numbers in Illinois (Obama’s home state) for 11/5/08 were 666.

    Obama was a U.S. senator for Illinois, and his zip code was 60606.

    Seek Jesus while He may be found…repent, confess and forsake your sins and trust in the savior! Jesus says we must be born again by His Holy Spirit to enter the kingdom of God…God bless!
