Sporting News college basketball writer Mike DeCourcy released his preseason All-American teams on Wednesday, and Kentucky guard De’Aaron Fox was named to the second team.
Fox is the only Kentucky player named to one of the three teams.
De’Aaron Fox, Kentucky
Here’s what you need to know about Fox: In addition to being an absurdly gifted athlete, creative passer and promising deep shooter, he once dove on the floor for a loose ball with a minute left of a summer tournament game his team was winning by 14 points. That’s how committed he is to playing basketball the way it ought to be played. Kentucky has a wealth of gifted young players, but the guy running the team will make the difference.
Fox joins Josh Jackson (Kansas), Tyler Lydon (Syracuse), Monte Morris (Iowa State) and Ivan Rabb (California) on the second team.
