Fox is extremely good, but you can't get by with him taking 25-30 shots. Kings and everyone else should be trying to copy Boston. 4 guys who can go off at any time. If they can keep Monk and get Kuzma, they would be on the right track.

@5un50utPr05 Ай бұрын

The thing about Boston is they have elite talent at the 3 and 4 spots in Jaylen and Tatum

@ralph7781 Ай бұрын

I feel the same exact way. Fox is legit. He could do exactly what Brunson did this playoffs plus more. At this point, he doesn’t have too many weaknesses. His game is built for the playoffs. He’s fearless and super clutch. He just had to be more consistent hitting the acceleration button. This past season he made improvements. But he also regressed in other areas. If he can get back to more paint touches, and continue improving his 3p% and defense, but more importantly his FREE THROWS, Fox can absolutely be in that SGA tier. Fox was actually in that SGA tier during the first month of the season. Not sure if injuries slowed him down. But he definitely has the potential. It’s also on the FO to add that last meaningful piece to replace HB. U plug in an Anunoby/Jaden McDaniels type player ton replace HB while retaining Monk…we’d instantly go from a top 10 lock to a top 5 lock if . And that is a big deal in the Wild Wild West. Monte has got to work his magic somehow and add a meaningful player without getting rid of Keegan. Well see

Like Matt’s take on the trade. Would put Finney-Smith in as a starter, and bring Barnes’ O off the bench. If Monk comes back, that allows him to start and improves the whole rotation.

Fox was better than ever last season. The 3p shooting improved and so did his defense. The season was a disappointment because of Barnes and Heurter’s declining offense.

Fox won’t be him till he starts flopping that’s how he’ll go to the next level. Can anyone make a top 5 player that didn’t flop maybe Kawhi

@Ken-io9sl Ай бұрын

I disagree. I don't think fox is an unguardable offensive player that you should rest on defense. He is someone that should average 20-25ppg while guarding one of the better opposing guards. The Kings should find an unguardable player that fox can defer to

@SKOOBZTERZ Ай бұрын

Exactly , just put physical players on Fox and it’s a wrap

@Weather_Nerd Ай бұрын

No one in the league is unguardable under 6’8 or so lol but Fox is about as close as guards come. He can give you 25-30ppg and still be that defender, kings just needed keegan to take a big step and/or get another offensive weapon

@NOCALGooN916 Ай бұрын

He's guarding the best guard on the other team plus he's the main focal point of the offense do you know how difficult that is on a night to night basis every other team has a player that takes the defensive load off their PG we don't have that luxury our per def is the worst in league.... upgrade the defensive talent and he'll take that next step

I still think Fox needs a change to grow. How often in history has a player developed on a poor team and gone on to win a championship. Even Lebron had to change teams to win a ring. My guess is Fox is going to request a trade, and that will be good for Fox, and for the Kings.

Nope Fox is too immature and arrogant the Kings haven’t even won a title and instead of getting further this year we regress. Look at Fox’s last 10 games this season- he’s just banking on 3s that half of them don’t go in. So many disappointing final 3 min plays where he’s thinking he’s gonna make it then he’s not versus utilizing his team and passing/sharing the ball. The more he gets magnified the more he acts like it’s the Fox show. This doesn’t better the team morale nor does it get the team into the playoffs.
