Fox wasn't idle in the offseason, trying to make up for his shortcomings. In his opinion, he was not strong enough, his body was still a little thin, and his strength was weak. So he's been busy gaining weight and practicing strength in the gym whenever he has time.
His efforts were rewarded. He weighs about 89 kilograms today, about 27 pounds heavier than when he took the NBA joint trial before the draft.
Fox believes that after gaining weight, he will become stronger, and when he engages in physical contact with opponents, he will have an advantage, he can easily squeeze out the defense, become faster, more explosive.
Fox not only worked hard in terms of weight gain and strength in the offseason, he also practiced a lot of three-point shooting ability.
As we all know, Fox's strength is breakthroughs. He is extremely fast, his 2K22 speed ability value is 97, and he is in the first place to suppress Wei Shao Morant.
Wall, who is known for his fast breakthrough speed, also praised Fox, bluntly saying: he is a player with monster-level athletic ability and extremely fast speed.
Fox is a master of disrupting battles, and when it comes to switching offenses, he is like a field beast, and it is difficult for anyone to restrain him. He can use his speed to tear apart the opponent's defenses. Last season he exploded, averaging 35.1 minutes per game and averaging 25.2 points, 3.5 rebounds, 7.2 assists and 1.5 steals.
His weak ring is that the projection is not stable enough. His overall shooting percentage last season was just 47.7 percent, his three-point shooting percentage was 32.2 percent and his free throw shooting percentage was 71.9 percent. To be among the league's top defenders, Fox needs to work on these areas.
Time flew by, and Fox had been in the NBA for 4 years and had become a "veteran." Now it seems that the Kings' decision to select Fox with the No. 5 pick was very correct, and he did have a lot of potential, performing much better than some of the high-ranking players of the same year.
In the 2017 draft, the 76ers took off Fultz with a big pick, and now he is plagued by injuries and has been slow to cash in on his talent, averaging only 10.9 points per game; and the Lakers only have a ball brother in the draft that year, ignoring Tatum and Fox. But Ball's growth has not met people's expectations; the Celtics are discerning, Tatum's performance is very good; the 17th No. 4 show Josh Jackson is also a mess in the NBA, the ball is not good, and there are many troubles.
Brothers, if the 2017 Draft returns, which players do you think will change?
