Sacramento Kings star point guard De’Aaron Fox is preparing for his third NBA season. His stellar sophomore season in Sacramento, where he experienced across the board statistical improvement, has led to a growing reputation around the NBA.

Now, the Fox is going international. After being added, along with Kings teammate Marvin Bagley, to the USA Men’s Basketball select team, the 21-year-old has received a promotion.

Fox joins fellow point guards Kemba Walker and Kyle Lowry on the USA main roster. Lowry is currently recovering from thumb surgery, so Fox is favored to make the World Cup roster.
