De’Aaron Fox defensive struggles are a problem for the Kings
De’Aaron Fox’s offensive struggles through the first 21 games of the NBA season have been well-documented for good reason. After a breakout campaign in 2020-21, Fox has regressed across the board and just hasn’t been able to find any consistency on that end for the Sacramento Kings.
But while he’s certainly struggled offensively, an arguably more concerning long-term issue has been his inability to guard anyone on defense. Prior to this season, Fox pointed out defense as something he knew he needed to improve on for him and the team to take the next step.
