He has a chance if the Spurs can get a solid 4/5 player. I’ve spent about 3hrs binging Asa Newell. We have to get him. Fox, Castle, Asa and Wemby. The rest of this season is about building camaraderie between Fox and the rest of the team and allowing Stephon Castle to develop.
Devin is this season's Spurs biggest disappointment. Sure he had few good games but he was supposed to be Wemby's number two. He need to show up every night. His inconsistencies, tentativeness, inability to play against tougher/physical players, mediocre defense/assist/rebounder/bball IQ (how many times he held the ball dribbling shot clock and get defended well only to pass last minute mostly to Sochan forced to shoot bad shot). It's his confidence an lack of leadership main concern. If he misses his first few shots (usually a three), expect a bad/mediocre night. He will still be a good piece though for a better team, but he is not that guy who will help this team elevate. So may Devin apologists here, I was high for him too before, he seems to be a nice guy too, smiles a lot. it's been five years and there is no growth statswise fact is he regressed. He's just another Lonnie Walker – streaky at times, MIAs many times. We need players with winning mentality and impacts the game in many ways like Wemby and now Stephon, otherwise this team won't go anywhere.

The Spurs should get Naz Reid instead of drafting a power forward. He's entering free agency. I hope they draft Jeremiah Fears with the first pick and trade Vassell and the Atlanta picks for Devin Booker.
The Spurs should scout Forward Grant Nelson 6'11 230 Alabama and Center Hunter Dickinson 7'2 265 Kansas. Grant Nelson put on a show versus Auburn in SEC Championship game in a 93-91 win.
Kings fan here. What’s Spurs fans’ general opinion of Fox so far?
