Anyone who watched the Spurs’ late-season flash may have missed one of the biggest clues for the future. De'Aaron Fox and Victor Wembanyama only played five games together, so their starts felt disjointed. But dismissing their potential now overlooks everything Fox brings.
De'Aaron Fox ran one of the most efficient offenses when he was with the Sacramento Kings behind Sabonis, and Wembanyama is already a better player. Think back to 2022-23 when the Kings made the playoffs, and we remember that Fox was the driving force behind that offense becoming a significant force and one of the best in the association.
