Kings point guard De’Aaron Fox worked hard last summer to add upper body strength so he could improve his ability to drive to the basket, draw fouls and finish through contact.
Fox has demonstrated that ability numerous times over the course of a sensational sophomore season, using his quickness, strength and body control to score around the basket in a variety of ways. He is also getting to the foul line more often, doubling his free-throw attempts per game from 2.7 as a rookie last season to 5.4 going into Thursday’s game against the New Orleans Pelicans at Smoothie King Center.
