NBA ROLE: (ELITE) ATHLETIC LEAD PLAYMAKER

 

The 5th overall pick in 2017, De'Aaron Fox has transformed into a dynamic, star guard; vocal leader, strong attention to detail, (game-changing) playmaker on both ends; like most lefties, De'Aaron is hard to reel in - extremely quick, does work w/ various changes of direction in the open court (or whenever downhill) - Fox can finish w/ either hand, uses his speed & ball-handling (splits double-teams regularly, decent hez, in & out) to get all the way in; good decision-maker, needs more command when the game slows down; effective PnR scorer but would cross into "unguardable" territory if his 3 ball continues to improve; accepts the challenge of playing defense - possesses the physical makeup (& relentless will) to shut things down on the perimeter; carries himself well, star qualities; crossed into Top DOG territory in 2020, made 1st All-Star team in 2023!; signed max extension: excellent Big 3 alongside (fellow All-Stars) Domantas Sabonis & DeMar DeRozan; De'Aaron’s a major, driving force in SAC’s turnaround and is continuing to grow as the face of Kings basketball - high ceiling as a unit in 2025?
