SALT LAKE CITY — At 10-8, including a recent win at Vivint Arena, the Sacramento Kings are a surprisingly hot team. At the head of the charge is point guard De’Aaron Fox, someone Utah Jazz star Donovan Mitchell has known since high school.
While both Mitchell and Fox are guards and share the same height, their games couldn’t be more different. Their build is entirely different, given Mitchell’s muscular frame and Fox’s slim body but elusive speed. Mitchell is the better scorer, but Fox is the more natural distributor.
Mitchell was a year older than Fox in school, but the two crossed paths early in their basketball careers with the high school circuit to build a bond.
