    • Kentucky, NBA Draft

    Former Kentucky guard De’Aaron Fox worked out with Sacramento on Monday and is slated to work out for the Phoenix Suns later in the week, and the Lakers and Philadelphia Sixers next week, per NBA.com.

    The Lakers pick at No. 2, the Sixers at No. 3, the Suns at No. 4 and the Kings at No. 5.

    DraftExpress.com currently projects the 6-foot-3 Fox to go to Phoenix.

    The Sixers, meantime, are considering “six or seven names…who we would really be happy with,” President Bryan Colangelo said Monday per NBA.com.

    “We’ve done a lot of scouting over the last few weeks, following up and confirming some of the thoughts and impressions we’ve had over a much bigger body of work,” Colangelo said. “This is the chance to bring guys in, and talk to them for the first time, in some cases.”

    Texas

    With the addition of Mohamed Bamba and the return of Andrew Jones, Texas now has two projected first-round NBA Draft picks in 2018.

    And expectations for the Longhorns are understandably high.

    “How confident are we?” Texas coach Shaka Smart said Thursday on The 4 Quarters Podcast. “I think we have a chance to make a major jump as a program.”

    And why not?

    The 6-foot-11 Bamba, who chose Texas over Kentucky, Duke and Michigan, is the projected No. 4 pick in the 2018 Draft per DraftExpress.com. The 6-4 Jones, who tested the NBA Draft waters without an agent, is projected as the No. 21 pick.

    As for Jones, who averaged 11.4 points, 3.9 rebounds and 3.5 assists, Smart expects him to make a big jump heading into his sophomore season.
