De'Aaron Fox leaving Kentucky after one season for the NBA

Kentucky Wildcats freshman guard De'Aaron Fox has declared himself eligible for the 2017 NBA Draft and will hire an agent, ending his college career, per Jon Rothstein of FanRag Sports.

What It Means:

No surprise here as Fox is projected to be taken in the top 10 of the upcoming draft. Teammate Malik Monk is expected to make the same move later this week. Don't worry about the Wildcats; they have a pair of top 35 recruits coming in next season to take the duo's place.

Fox averaged 16.7 points, 4.0 rebounds, 4.6 assists, and 1.5 steals per game while shooting 47.9% from the floor this season.
