#1 De'Aaron Fox
Trending
This youngster gets the nod over Russell Westbrook as he is still relatively young and has a lot of potential. De'Aaron Fox is indisputably the fastest player in the league right now. At just 21 years, the Kentucky alumnus is a nightmare on the open floor, driving to the rim and dishing out the ball if in the presence of a shot blocker.

Fox's elite speed combined with his fearless attitude make him dangerous in fast break situations as he doesn't shy away from contact. His dynamic quickness combined with his shiftiness make him the spearhead of the Sacramento Kings offense who had the fifth highest pace in the NBA last season.
Selected with the 5th pick in the 2017 NBA Draft, Fox had a breakout year last season (his sophomore year) where he averaged 17.3 points and 7.3 rebounds per game. Fox is a pass-first point guard who prefers to play in transition over half-court sets, one of the reasons why the Kings excel in the up-tempo offense.
Early in his career at the University of Kentucky, Fox shot poorly from the floor which led many analysts to believe that he would be a non-shooting guard of the likes of Rajon Rondo and Elfrid Payton. However, Fox shot 46% on field goals and 37% on three-point field goals in 2018-19, an impressive feat for a second-year player.
