Currently at 2.5 3pt made per game on 6.5 attempts, 39%.
Would be good enough for 25th in the league in makes and 30th in attempts if he played enough games to qualify for the leaderboards.

Just 17 players that attempt 6 or more 3pts per game are more efficent than him, with Barnes and Vassell being two of them.
Out of those 15, I'd say just Mitchell, Edwards, McCollum, Murray have similar shot selection with all the off the dribble and stepback shots as primary ballhandlers.
I'd say not bad for a supposedly terrible shooter according to some members.

It was obvious his finger caused him a lot of issues last season. He's been effortless this season with 24ppg on 61% TS.
Not bad for an undersized chucker according to some members.

And he's also at 3.2 deflections per game, which would be good for tied 21st most in the league with Castle if he played enough games.
Steals are at 1.4. Enough for 21st, same as deflections.
Unlike any other all-star point guard except SGA, he actually takes tough assignments by design and has done well in most games.
Not bad for a traffic cone according to some members.

I'm also hyped about Castle and Harper, they'll both be stars in the future, but Fox has been the biggest difference maker this season compared to the last year.
He could easily be more selfish like most other stars and run his ppg up to 28, even 30, but he decided to be a leader and prioritize winning. While still taking over and making tough shots whenever we need him to.

It will be a robbery if he continues playing like this and doesn't make the all-star game.

Happy for the guy. Can't imagine what the transition must be like to go from a team where you're depending on Sabonis for rim protection and your best young player is Keegan Murray to the situation he's in now

locked up Austin Reaves and then went and blocked Chet yesterday. Most slept on PG in the league.

I'll admit I was bit sceptical about his acquisition.
Over the last couple of years things have been pretty busy on the home and work front ( in a good way) that I've not watched a whole lot of non Spurs games. I was a bit worried Fox was one of those good stats on a bad team.
I'm happy to be wrong. Guy is talented, wants to fit in and win. Seeing him run to the corner, effort on D...

Remember when the Kings with Fox and Sabonis had that one good year and Mike Brown was the coach? And now Fox is going to play against his old coach in the cup final. (And obviously we, as Spurs fans, know Mike Brown).

How Mike Brown's firing ended De'Aaron Fox's time with the Kings: "If Mike [Brown] gets fired, I'll be going on my fifth coach. ... I'm not going to play for another coach. I'm going to play for another team."
