Boyhood friends De'Aaron Fox, Justin Jackson are teammates again


Aaron Fox smiled and shook his head. It was all too good to be true. Not only was his son De'Aaron selected fifth overall by the Sacramento Kings in the NBA draft Thursday night, but one of De'Aaron's boyhood friends also wound up with Sacramento after the first round. Ten picks and less than an hour later, found himself headed to California as well. (Houston Chronicle)
