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.
The ideal fit would be D’Angelo Russell if they can get him somehow. Else I can live with Fox. I agree with KL concerns but beggars can’t be choosers. We don’t have a bad team. We have some good players. What we are lacking is legit starting level talent across the board. Whatever his fit on this team he is a massive talent upgrade over anyone other than Luka.
Also we are not the Lakers. As much as I hate Westbrook’s game he too would be an upgrade to most of our starters. LA can move him and get a better stud. Teams like the Mavs don’t have that luxury. In the NBA landscape we are just another team when it comes to prospective FAs.
