Nobody expected the Sacramento Kings to be a Playoff team this season but they have been consistently ranked in the Top 10 in the Western Conference and Fox has got a lot to do with it.

He's the most improved player amongst his draft class because he's averaging 18.3, 3.6 rebounds and 7.7 assists this season compared to his averages of 11.6 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 4.4 assists in his rookie season.

Fox has made a reputation for himself for being one of the fastest players in the league and the most athletic player from his draft class. Can he put an end to the Kings' Playoff draught this season?


Kyle Kuzma

NBA teams passed on Kyle Kuzma until the Lakers picked him up as late as the 27th Pick. He's made the All-Rookie team last season and has become the 2nd best player for the Lakers after outperforming Lonzo Ball and Brandon Ingram night after night.

It won't be an exaggeration to say that if Kuz continues to develop at this rate, he might very well be the biggest steal of all time in the NBA Draft. He is currently averaging 18.7 points 5.9 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game compared to his rookie-season average of 16.1points, 6.3 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game.
