Oh, how the turntables have turned. After signing a max contract over the summer and being criticized for his performance during a recent loss, San Antonio Spurs star De'Aaron Fox has won over his biggest critics.
Without three of the team's four best players, Fox has been relied on to pick up the slack, and he has done so masterfully. The Spurs are currently 3-1 without star Victor Wembanyama, with Fox efficiently scoring at least 25 points in each game.
That highlights his true value to the Spurs. Although he was brought in to be a co-star to Wemby, he was also an insurance policy too.
