You’ll never believe this, but Kentucky hoops has a freshmen class full of dudes who are going to be pros sooner rather than later. The crowned jewel of the class is De’Aaron Fox, who showed why he was a top-10 recruit in the class of 2016 on Tuesday.
Kentucky played Michigan State in Madison Square Garden and ran the Spartans off the court. The final was 69-48 Wildcats. Fox had a solid night – 12 points, six assists, four rebounds, a steal, and a block. Of his 12 points, none were more impressive than this dunk, as the 6-f00t-3 guard took off in transition, cocked his arm back, and threw down.
Fox is likely going to be a star. At the very least, John Calipari thinks the freshman point guard has the potential to be really, really good.
John Calipari says De’Aaron Fox is a faster player than John Wall.

Being fast is one thing. Being faster than John Wall is something else. No pressure, kid.
