2021-2022 AROUND the NBA: GSW Champs [ARCHIVED]

[SleepingHero]

I respect your opinion, but just can't see how a guard with nothing to his name but speed could possibly succeed in such a role. To play off of a star (again, as a guard) I think a catch-and-shoot game is an absolute necessity in the NBA. Like, non-negotiable. 

To me, Fox is either good enough to be the ball-handler on a team or not all that useful at all, though it's not too late for him to improve. I just haven't seen much evidence over the years that he's going to.

I see where you're coming from and to a point I agree with you. But I don't think it's as black and white as you're making it out to be. Sure I don't think Fox is good enough to be THE guy, but there have been countless of examples of good PG's with shaky shots still contributing to a major way. Ricky Rubio to name one with the Cavs!  Tony Parker is another shifty guard who's entire game predicated around his speed and getting to the rim. Both of these guys were quite terrible spot up shooters (even though Parker had a 3 year stretch of 50/39/80 from 2013-2016). 

Tony Parker should be the guy Fox should model his game after.
