When Tyrese Haliburton was drafted by the Kings, he made it clear that Sacramento was the best place for him primarily because of De’Aaron Fox. Haliburton knew that he would be most impactful next to another ball handler both due to his style of play and the way the league has evolved. To play with a dominant point guard who was also young and could run with him was the perfect fit.
The chemistry between the two has been palpable. The one hiccup for Haliburton is that Fox, despite being about two years older than the rookie, loves to lord his experience over Haliburton and treat him like he’s much younger than he actually is.
