There are times De’Aaron Fox says looks over to coach Dave Joerger and receives nothing.
It’s for Fox’s own good.
The rookie point guard is figuring out how to run an NBA team and eventually has to be trusted to figure things out on his own. Joerger is doing that at various points of games. It’s a must for the Kings that Fox does that now.
With George Hill traded last week and Frank Mason III still recovering from a heel injury, Fox is the Kings’ only healthy point guard and he’s “extremely comfortable” on the court lately.
