They are both the right guard. Fox wouldn’t have the Pacers offense gelling like they are because he isn’t the pure point guard Rese is, but we got that historical offense engine in Domas so we need different things from Fox.
What I like about Fox more for the Kings is that he can get any shot at any time he wants, especially crunch time. Tyrese has had a good step back 3. Elite even, but that’s something that can be schemed. After that, it’s on Tyrese teammates because he can’t meaningfully attack the hoop like Fox.
Fox far more difficult, especially if he’s going to shoot the three in the mid to high 30’s at 8 attempts per like he is to this point. A three ball teams have to respect puts Fox from all star squeaker into one of the absolute best players in the NBA
I don’t want to turn this into another thread about the trade but I think everything is in its right place. This is somebody who hated the trade when it happened too.
Kings had a historic offense after trading in my opinion the best “pure” point guard in the NBA. The ends are ultimately the same offensively so until one of Tyrese winning championships as “the guy” OR the Fox-Domas core prematurely implodes without ever making a meaningful run happens. It’s a win-win and not worth digging up until new developments happen.
And no…”new developments” isn’t one of Fox, Domas, or Haliburton having a monster game.
It’s not really debatable that both teams were bad before, and now both teams are good after. Good for what should be a long time.
