Why Locking Up De’Aaron Fox Could Make The Spurs A Contender For Years (Part 7)
But here’s where San Antonio really shows its attention to detail. They’re deliberate about who they put in these spots. Take this first clip for example. The two best three-point shooters on the floor for the Spurs are Champany and Kell. One is utilized as the screener. The other is used as a spot-up shooter in the corner. The Mavs decide to switch on this action with Max Christy ending up on Fox. A favorable matchup for the best ISO player in the league last season. As Fox attacks Christy, notice how Sohan, the weaker shooter of the two screeners, ends up rolling to the basket while Champeni, the better shooter, pops out beyond the ark. Even though the switch leads to Fox simply going one-on-one and drilling a jumper, you can still see the underlying design. Give Fox multiple built-in advantages, whether to score himself or create for a teammate.
Why Locking Up De’Aaron Fox Could Make The Spurs A Contender For Years!
De’Aaron Fox is officially a San Antonio Spur — and he’s ready to prove every dollar of his 4-year, $229 million contract was money well spent. Fox brings a dynamic element the Spurs simply haven’t had in years — a true one-on-one assassin who can dismantle any defender in front of him. Last season, among players who ran at least two isolation possessions per game, Fox tied Kevin Durant for the most points per possession in the entire NBA. His blazing speed, elite handle, and ability to finish in traffic make him one of the most dangerous rim attackers in basketball.
Yet, despite shooting just 41.2% from mid-range and ranking in the bottom five in pull-up three-point efficiency among high-volume shooters, Fox still finished as the league’s best isolation scorer. Imagine if he bumps those percentages up by even a few points — we could be looking at the undisputed best one-on-one scorer in the NBA.
In this breakdown, we’ll explore Fox’s elite clutch-time performance, his ability to punish double-teams as a playmaker, and the potential of his partnership with Victor Wembanyama. We’ll also dissect how the Spurs’ “horns” action, high-IQ role players like Keldon Johnson, Justin Shampeahney, and Stephon Castle, and incoming rookies Dylan Harper and Carter Bryant could unlock an offense that’s nearly impossible to defend.
With Gregg Popovich’s system maximizing Fox’s strengths and surrounding him with unselfish, versatile talent, the Spurs could be building something special. Could this Fox-Wemby pairing be the foundation of the next great NBA contender? Let’s dive in.
