De’Aaron Fox has improved his game each year since he was drafted No. 5 by the Sacramento Kings in 2017. While that growth hasn’t exactly been linear, it’s been a joy to watch Fox progress in different elements of the game each season.
After a subpar rookie season where he had flashes but was mainly an ineffective player, Fox returned for his sophomore year with a vengeance. The Kings’ built a deadly transition heavy offense around Fox and his skills, and as a result Fox saw major improvements to just about every statistical category in his second season.
