De’Aaron Fox wins first-ever NBA Clutch Player of the Year Award

De’Aaron Fox has taken his game to the next level this season.

The 2017 draft’s fifth-overall pick, Fox has been a stud, although his Sacramento Kings haven’t quite reached their full potential until this season. Their success has been on the back of the 25-year-old first-time All-Star guard.

Fox averaged 25 points per game this season. He added in a career-best 4.2 rebounds per game and chipped in 6.1 assists per game as well. He shot over 50% from the field for the first time in his career.

The Kings, who are up 2-0 on the NBA-reigning Warriors in a best-of-7 first-round series, finished the year 48-34, earning the third seed in the Western Conference.
