Fox Signs Max (SuperMax potential)
- Thread starter SLAB
- Start date
This contract is high but understandable - Fox will be going through most likely the pinnacle of his physical quality over the next 5 years. He is likely in the top 3 in terms of pace on the court in the NBA I would not be surprised if he is the speediest player in the NBA . Hopefully he keeps his health in good form.

That doesn’t invalidate the accomplishment that was cited.
Not only that, Swipa averaged 3.8 reb. It’s not like he was far off.
And Swipa averaged 1 more assist than Tyreke so I guess he played the role of point guard and distributor a tad better.

And his jump shot.
Funny, Swipa gets criticized for not being Steph Curry but Tyreke‘s jumper was far more broken and inconsistent.
First of all, league was different back then in terms of needing shooting. Secondly, I was not aware that anybody gave Tyreke a max contract.

While this is true, and I’ve argued till I was blue that guards take longer to develop than the often uttered “big men take longer to develop” statement. Superstar guards usually make huge leaps by year three, and that wasn’t the case.
He needs to have an elite three point shot as a smaller guard to have that elite impact on offense because he isn’t going to have an elite impact on defense.
His shooting is a big cap on his potential that is currently an anchor he wears around his neck for offensive impact.

If Fox wants to take the next step to where he is considered elite, not just good, he must be working to hit the 3 with 35-38% or greater consistently. But, part of that is on the coaches and FO to get him the tools necessary (a great shooting coach) and insist on his work to that end (though i doubt Fox needs any type of motivation.

And you know this ... how? Can he play an NBA game first?

A lot of money for a guy who can't shoot the ball....well, it's not my money.

Honestly I’m a big fan of de’aaron but maxing him is an overpay for what he is now compared to Tatum, Mitchell and bam but I see it more as an investment on what he can be. Kind of like what Denver did with Murray. I was hoping he would take a little less but maxing him is something we had to do as a small market trying to keep their star player
