De’Aaron Fox will enter the 2017 NBA Draft after just one year with Kentucky and would fit well with multiple NBA teams.

It is always easy to look at which teams are most likely to draft a former college basketball star, but what about which teams would be the best fit for that player?

The 2017 NBA Draft is just under two months away, and teams and fans alike will be trying their best to determine which player has what it takes to make their team into a playoff contender.

One player who is expected to be drafted around the top five and make an immediate impact is former Kentucky Wildcats’ point guard De’Aaron Fox. Fox is another one-and-done player for John Calipari who averaged 16.7 points per game, 4.0 rebounds per game, 4.6 assists per game, and 1.5 steals per game during his time in Lexington.

With Lonzo Ball and Markelle Fultz both expected to be selected in the top three, Fox is the next best point guard on the board and will be highly sought after by multiple NBA teams. It would not surprise me if some type of trade happened so a team could move up and snag him.

Fox is an all-around talented player that can do a bit of everything, something that is highly coveted in the NBA. Unfortunately, only one team will end up with this potential star on draft night. Hopefully, it’s a team that utilizes his talents properly.

Here are the five NBA teams that would be the best fit for the former Kentucky star.
