De’Aaron Fox: “There is no secret: to win, you need a point guard who can shoot”

To carry out the goal of the Kings this season, namely the playoffs, Mike Brown will need all his players to be at their maximum capacity, in a very tough Western Conference. Starting with its leaders.

Thereby, De’Aaron Fox, the latest guest of Draymond Green’s podcast this week, explains that he wants to take a step forward in the exercise of outside shooting when the inside questions him about his areas of progress. Both to continue to progress individually, as well as to improve the collective attack.

For me, personally, it always comes back to outside shooting. Every time in my career that I shot well, the team did well he said, when he had just signed a 3 out of 5 from afar against the Clippers. ” If I start shooting well from long range, the defense needs to get more involved, maybe take an extra step wide. And if the defense gets closer to me, it’s over for them. If I shoot better, it unlocks so many things for this team, it gives us a totally different face. »

Then “Swipa” explains that he is simply inspired by what he has observed in recent years in the league.

To win these days, a point guard has to be able to shoot well. I mean, what was the last team that won the title without having a really good shooting point guard? Spurs and Tony Parker in 2014? ” he asks. ” Because then there was Steph, Kyrie… Jrue also knows how to shoot. To win at the highest level, there is no secret: you need a leader capable of shooting. »
