Sacramento Kings: De’Aaron Fox, 5 years
The No. 5 pick in the 2017 draft, De’Aaron Fox has scored the third-most points out of the 2017 draft class, behind only Donovan Mitchell and Jayson Tatum. Fox leads that draft class in assists by a substantial margin, a current 442-assist lead over second place Lonzo Ball.
Fox is entering the second year of his five-year, $163 million contract signed before the 2020-21 season. Also, congratulations are in order as he got married this summer. A couple of Fox’s Kentucky teammates, Bam Adebayo and Wenyen Gabriel, were groomsmen at his wedding.
