De'Aaron Fox is one of many Wildcats who loves the brotherhood that comes with being apart of the UK basketball family. In preparation for the NBA Draft Combine, Fox was able to call on the expertise of former Cats, like John Wall and Karl-Anthony Towns. Fox said that a lot of former players talk to each other. If you were a Wildcat, you're treated "like family" by the other Wildcats.
So, in essence, John Calipari is building one great big UK family. No doubt one of the richest families to ever exist.
