The hopes of the Sacramento Kings ending their 16-year playoff drought rely heavily on De’Aaron Fox consistently playing like the All-Star caliber player he has only been in stretches so far during his career.
Fox alone is not why the Kings have been a lousy basketball team. Instead, he’s been a passenger on the basketball Titanic, with countless different coaches and teammates falling by the wayside during this time.
Heading into this season, the Kings, for the first time in his career, have a roster with a rotation of legit NBA talent.
If Fox and the Kings have another season winning in the low 30s, it is probably time to reevaluate the idea of building a team around him.
