With Fox it’s relatively simple: he needs to get back above 25 ppg and as a cornerstone he needs to be averaging 25-30 over the next 3-5 years. That puts him somewhere in Dame territory scoring wise. Without the defense or huge 3 point threat the raw scoring matters so much more.
getting to 25 last year at a super young age is both hugely promising but also reminiscent of the Reke ROY campaign, with the whole org pushing to pump up his scoring numbers even after the season was lost, then him getting shut down with covid late which locked up the gaudy averages
it’s really not super complicated with him, he can be a top 3 player attacking the rim and could probably be the best downhill scoring threat in the nba. But that’s pretty much the entirety of what he brings so if you’re building around him he’d better be ultra elite and getting you 28 per night to make it worth it
