De'Aaron Fox believes he's a better perimeter shooter than he showed during his lone season at Kentucky in which he shot 21 percent on three-pointers.

"What I tell teams, I'm always in the gym," said Fox. "Kentucky was just a bad year shooting for me. I shot the ball well from the free throw line, that’s one thing a lot of people really look at. I don’t really know why—I’ve never been a bad shooter, but I did have a bad year. I’m going to work on it. I’m already used to the NBA three, been shooting it well during workouts. Honestly, only time can tell. I’m gonna to have to prove it in games."

Fox is one of the best defenders and pure point guards in the draft.

"The reality of it is, unless [NBA teams] are trying to win in a minute, I mean, that [jumper] should be the least of their worries," said John Calipari. "What you have is a long guard that can pick up 94 feet, that'll be as fast as anybody in the league. When you have that, and he's really good at pick-and-roll, he's on the scouting report. 'How do we play this? How are we gonna guard this? What are we doing in transition?' He gets the ball in his hands, you gotta get back in the lane. Because he's coming."
