Grading De'Aaron Fox's Max Extension with the Kings

The Kings inked franchise point guard De’Aaron Fox to the first major extension of free agency on Friday night, agreeing to a five-year, $163 million max extension, as first reported by The Athletic’s Shams Charania.

Fox, who turns 23 in December, was the No. 5 pick in the 2017 draft and led Sacramento in scoring, assists, and offensive usage last season. The deal can reportedly be worth the super-max number of $195.6 million if Fox meets specific criteria, tied to the salary cap as well as his ability to make one of the three All-NBA teams.
