Fox almost always defers to whatever young guard he’s with, unless it’s crunch time. That was one of the things I really appreciated about CP3 last year. Castle would inbound the ball, and CP3 would bounce it right back to him, and run up the court.
i think CP3 also didnt want to deal with the hassle of bringing the ball up the court tbh
Putting four parts of information into a graphic with two graphs is always fun, isn't it?
I highly doubt the Spurs would be idiotic enough to chose their own version of Perkins over Harper. They’re gonna do everything in their power to keep all 3 franchise players. Love Fox but it’s a no brainer who’s gonna be more important to keep in a couple of years.
It'd be interesting to see how if the finishing rate has changed over the season. I get the impression a lot of rookie guards struggle with finishing early on.Putting four parts of information into a graphic with two graphs is always fun, isn't it?
So Dylan is taking the most shots at the rim (of these players...only guards?) while finishing them at about an average quality, but having them at a difficult quality...and all of that while playing about 25 minutes?
Guess it tells us, that he likes to go to the basket.
Not sure, but should he target to be more green than purple even if he becomes more left than right, thus making him go up, even though his spot becomes larger in upcoming seasons?
Yeah i have no doubt the Spurs will choose Harper over Fox, but I'm just curious about the window/timing in which they will pull the trigger. One thing for sure: the Spurs will do good by him and send him to a good situation/attractive market (think of Miami, Brooklyn, maybe even Houston where he resides, making an exception to their 'no big trade with a West team' rule). Fox is a Spurs material and has been an exemplary teammate. He leveraged his way here at a low-cost assets-wise, so I expect the Spurs to accommodate him for his next move..
But also kinda awesome he's stepping into a winning culture and not only contributing as a rookie, but leveling up ahead of the playoffs. Honestly, I doubt he'd trade positions with Kon or Coop. The future is bright in San Antonio and he's gonna get his. It's obvious.
Just to add to this, it's not like he ain't getting love. He won some Rookie of the Month ish, and he's earning high praise from a lot of podcasts I enjoy, like Vecenie. People who know ball know he's legit.
He's getting about 22 minutes. I would probably give him more if I was the coach. But I ain't all that mad about it. It's cool he's hitting his catch and shoot threes and finishing well the last 20 games but it wasn't always like that, and spacing is a thing with this team. The outside threat of people like Vassell creates more opportunities, even if it doesn't always show up in the box score the way Dylan does. I do kinda feel he's earned more minutes tho, this run has been pretty fire.
Wait unti he wants more money.
