NBA Market Share Report: Don't Be Late to the Luka Doncic Party
De'Aaron Fox Fattens the Stat Sheet
To say De'Aaron Fox is leaps and bounds ahead of where he was this same time last season would be an understatement. In addition to grinding it out on defense, Fox has been a stat-stuffer through five games, averaging better than 17 points, 5 boards, and almost 7 dimes in 32 minutes of action.
The Sacramento Kings rank fifth in pace, while scoring a ton of points per night and allowing even more to their opponents, most of which bodes well for Fox’s game and nightly output. Even if you're a bit unsure given the possibility of streaky scoring, his effort and athleticism help make up for it in nearly every other area of the game.
Fox’s salary has hit the $8,000 mark once so far, and it’s likely to drift past that number moving forward (assuming he keeps pace). In the meantime, though, rostering FanDuel’s fourth-highest scoring point guard in the $7,000 or so range makes for a strong play.
The Kings face the Wizards tonight, before heading east to take on the Heat, Magic, and Hawks next week.
