Eh maybe yes maybe no. I still feel his style of play isn’t conducive to a long term career and that he gets away with far far more while flopping around and getting calls. Fox would average >30 if he got some of those calls.
edit. Adams is the only one I like on their team. Does his job well. Nothing fancy but does everything right.

Really, all of Ja/SGA/Dame/Fox should have been in. The problem was the stupid positions rule that brings in PG and JJJ into the mix when they're just well behind a bunch of guards in the West. And since games played/winning apparently don't matter, Devin Booker and AD also had a far better case than JJJ or PG in my book.
It's just annoying that we were told for years with Boogie and a few seasons with Fox that once we started winning, he'd get the nod. Now that we're here, that apparently doesn't matter anymore.

I guess this is really my point though... If he's played 85% of his career minutes at a forward position and 66% of his minutes this season at a forward position and you had to classify him as either a forward or a guard, why would you pick guard? I mean you could call him a guard if he played even 1 minute there but from a logical point of view I feel like that's incorrect when there's a better classification available.
I expected him to be snubbed until word this week started coming in that he was picking up steam.
It's always something and frankly I don't even care at this point as long as he makes it eventually. Still heated Bibby never got the honor frankly - but at least then there were other "winners". When players on losing teams get in it's just horse turd.

Disappointing he didn't make it in, he definitely deserves it.
Dame and SGA are amazing players, but as others have mentioned, when it's a wash you would think coaches would default to record, and let's not forget that Fox has been Mr 4th Quarter for us!
Ah well, I'm hoping he doesn't force the action too much, but I think we'd all like Fox to have a bit of a "revenge tour" post ASB on all these coaches that didn't vote him in! Dude definitely has some 40+ point games in him.

Should have got in over Lillard, JJJ (missed time plus fouls out every other game) and Lauri due to team record (Shai is carrying a bad team with plenty of injuries), but than again a lot of Kings fans did think DMC deserved his spots while not winning and putting up numbers. Should have got in for sure no one expected the Kings to be 8-9 games over 500.
Also how on earth is Demar Derozan an All-Star what a joke. JJJ selection is one step above the Jamal Maglorie selection a few years back.
