The San Antonio Spurs traded for point guard De'Aaron Fox this past season, then drafted top point guard prospect Dylan Harper in the 2025 NBA Draft. That combination of actions could lead to the same decision point as the Sacramento Kings once faced -- and which they failed spectacularly.
Fox is entering his eighth season in the NBA, the first seven-plus spent in Sacramento. The Kings drafted him fifth overall in the 2017 NBA Draft -- the same draft where the Spurs took Derrick White with the 29th pick, for reference.
As is the case with most young point guards it took Fox a few years to get his legs under him, but by his fourth season he had cracked 25 points per game and dished 7.
