LOS ANGELES -- The first thing Kemba Walker and Marcus Smart noticed with De'Aaron Fox was the Sacramento Kings point guard's Mach speed.
"He makes fast people look not fast," Smart said, practically shaking his head.
Fox has some news for his impressed teammates.
"I think I probably have gotten faster," said the point guard who's entering his third NBA season.
This might be music to Gregg Popovich's ears as USA Basketball prepares for next month's FIBA World Cup. With Kyle Lowry recently withdrawing from Team USA due to his surgically repaired thumb, Fox has a prime opportunity in front of him.
