All-Star last season, but also elected to the Third All-NBA Team, De’Aaron Fox can he go one step further? The Kings leader has just planted 43 points on the Spurs defense, and his greater reliability at 3-points (38%) makes him even more dangerous. He is also the best scorer in the NBA with 32.2 points per game, ahead of Joel Embiid and Luka Doncic.
“He worked a lot in this area,” reports Mike Brown. “There is nothing that could surprise me as far as he is able to shoot like that, to score from near and far… He is fast, athletic, intelligent…”
The most underrated point guard in the NBA?
For Brown, it is incomprehensible that Fox is not mentioned for the MVP trophy. “The only thing that surprises me is that in all the lists I see about these MVPs, I don’t see his name at all… That surprises me. I’m surprised not to see his name mentioned on this list. Even when we start talking about point guards, his name isn’t mentioned. I don’t know why, but it’s a mistake. »
Elected Clutch Player of the Year last season, Fox intends to keep this trophy, and he is still the most effective player in the 4th quarters. This season, after six games, he averages 9.8 points in the final quarter. The Spurs can attest to this since he was decisive against them with 14 points in the last quarter.
“My teammates expect me to be more aggressive at the end of the match,” recalls Fox. “I try to be aggressive throughout the game, but I think I said it before, the fourth quarter is a little different.”
