It took just a couple of words of encouragement from one of the NBA's most recognized names to push Sacramento Kings rookie De'Aaron Fox to implement an important aspect of the game.
During the preseason, Vince Carter noticed Fox wasn’t saying much to his teammates. The 19-year-veteran told the 19-year-old point guard to “go talk to your team, say something." He recalls Fox looking a little nervous after he was prodded to do so, but he followed the advice and got in there and told the team what he was seeing in the game.
