SANTA MONICA, Calif. -- De'Aaron Fox sat down with Scout at the Nike Basketball Academy to discuss the latest in his play and recruitment.

Virginia-bound guard Kyle Guy is a slender jump shooter who also possesses highly advanced ball skills. He’s a tricky dribbler and passer whom defenders cannot simply play for his shot, and he’s also a surprisingly tough rebounder. Guy should fit very well into Tony Bennett’s structured system.

Highlights: Mark Vital

An early Baylor commitment, Mark Vital continues to register as one of the toughest, most overachieving forwards in the country. He plays far taller than his 6-6 height and is extremely aggressive attacking the rim and exploding off one foot.

Highlights: Deshawn Corprew

Albeit not considered a top-100 talent for the bulk of his prep career, Deshawn Corprew served notice at the NBPA Camp that he warrants consideration for that distinction. He’s strong, tough, versatile and understands how to thrive within the team concept. He also has improved his shooting considerably over the past year.

Highlights: Alex Barcello

Arizona rising junior guard Alex Barcello enjoyed success at the NBPA Camp both as a passer and a jump shooter. He’s more of a scorer at this point in his career but down the road should be able to add greater balance to his game. Barcello is the subject of heavy recruiting interest, particularly in the West.

Highlights: Michael Porter

Exquisitely talented Missouri junior Michael Porter didn’t play his best basketball at the NBPA Camp, but he still demonstrated his myriad skills and remains one of the very best prospects in the Class of 2017. The slender, jumbo wing possesses a pure jump shot, good athleticism and continues to entertain America’s top collegiate programs.
