Is 270 million in 5 years worth it? Fox finally returned to the court after a period of absence. He played 30 minutes against the Pelicans and made 9 of 14 shots, including 2 of 5 three-pointers and 4 of 5 free throws. He scored 24 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal. His return is so important to the Spurs. Wenbanyama finally has a stable helper.

He made 0 of 2 in the first quarter

In the second quarter, he made 6 of 6, 2 of 2 three-pointers, 1 of 1 free throws, 15 points and 1 rebound

In the third quarter, he made 1 of 4, 0 of 1 three-pointers, and scored 3 points

In the 4th quarter, he made 2 of 2 and scored 6 points And step up and down to take away the game at critical moments

The Spurs expect him to cooperate with Wenban. When Wenban is double-teamed, he can act as a shooting point on the outside

All eighteen skills were displayed today. Mid-range shots and breakthroughs

Wenban can stretch to the outside. This opens up space for Fox inside. As we all know, he has been good at breakthroughs since he entered the league.

He has always had the ball in his hand in the fourth quarter. At 3:47 seconds, he used a breakthrough to stabilize the situation for the team.

Hit an up-and-down throw at the last moment. Killing the game

For the Spurs, Wenban has not yet grown up, and they have a bunch of rookies who need to be trained. At critical moments, they need experienced players to stand up and stabilize the situation, and be able to initiate offense by themselves. Fox currently seems to be the perfect choice.

His speed complements Bunyama's athleticism, as the latter can move early to participate in fast breaks, while Fox can advance quickly and finish. In positional offense - Fox's pick-and-roll threat with the ball can create space for Wenbanyama to shoot out, while Wenbanyama's fake pick-and-roll and outside bomb can clear Fox's breakthrough route.

Fox's steals (1.5 per game last season) and Bunyama's frame protection form a defensive system that covers outside pressure and inside sweeps. Wenbanyama's lateral speed can briefly switch to the outside, while Fox can chase small guards and reduce defensive loopholes.

In fact, after Fox came to the Spurs last season, his scoring average dropped by 6 points, and all statistics declined slightly, which caused fans to question. But now that doubts have been dispelled, he is the top candidate for the Spurs' backcourt at this stage!
