At one point, he was the Kings 30+ ppg all nba player night in and night out that effectively affected the game in a hugely positive way.
If I have to guess, he couldn’t sustain that type of level for a whole season. Also, when the Ls were racking up and consistent bad team play, he was unable to handle the pressure appropriately (see: missed FTs, bad play last 6 weeks, poor internal leadership).
There is something “off” about Fox in the last month or so. The “4th quarter Fox” label hasn’t totally lived up to the billing as last season.
His ppg has been increased but he is shooting more overall fga with less efficiency. But admittedly, his 3pt shot has looked the best it has ever looked ever.
Just a weird season for him so far with a mix of good and bad.
Is Fox in the danger zone in playing out of a super max contract?
Not sure. But this recent stretch isn’t helping his case.
Super max was always going to be a hard pursuit. He eeked out third team, but this year you would have more incoming players like Hali and Ant (Fox was playing better but Wolves are top) coming for that spot. All star is more a question, though it’s hard to see the Kings getting more than one spot and at this point I have Domas more deserving. Supermax’s put a dent in payroll quite a bit.
