De’Aaron Fox carries himself with an unmistakeable swagger that makes it hard to imagine him uncomfortable in any social setting.
But as a rookie in the NBA, it has been a process for him to get comfortable on the court. For the first half of the season, he didn’t know when, or how, to be aggressive on a regular basis.
That’s changed in January, most notably on the Kings’ recent six-game trip. Fox’s growth has been dramatic. He has made an impact in multiple ways – and with flair. In his words, he got “extremely comfortable.”
“I know what my job is; I’m just going out there to do it,” Fox said after the Kings (16-34) secured their third win in four games with Tuesday’s 114-103 victory at New Orleans.
