I’ve always been lower on Fox than most, so 12th feels like a pretty natural landing spot. Reggie Jackson is fading fast and the Pistons are running low on point guard depth, so Fox could easily step in as a short-term backup and long-term replacement.
The concerns with Fox are universally known at this point. He has an impressive blend of speed and agility but lacks a relibale jumper. He showed some flashes of a pull-up mid-ranger at Kentucky, but he hasn’t been terribly consistent with it this season. Being a rookie point guard is tough, though, so he deserves some more time to work things out.
Defensively, Fox hasn’t quite lived up to the hype. His thin frame was always a concern, albeit one that often got overlooked. He makes a lot of rookie mistakes, but the energy and physical tools are there. Future improvement can be expected.
