This is why it's so important to actually watch the games.
The month of January where he's been "very very bad" he's averaging 22.5 / 3.5 / 4.5. His fg and 3pt shooting percentages tanked, and people act like he's just consistently settled for 3s all month.
December (where he was on fire)
13 games - 278 fgs attempted - 119 3s
January
15 games - 281 fgs attempted - 95 3s
Meaning he shot more at the rim/mid range this month while "his motor" has been in question. The shots just aren't falling.
Good/great players have slumps. Maybe you notice fox's more because you watch more kings games. As for the lower assist numbers, it's pretty evident this month that he's deferred to sabonis/monk and more recently we had Huerter/Barnes come back to life. A quick look at sabonis splits proves this is where the extra 1-2 fox assists went.
This again is why it's very important to actually watch the games.
I mean look at kawhi, bad November and clippers were laughing stock, now they've rattled off tons of wins. Didn't hear any clippers fans questioning "his motor" na, they gave him an extension during that time.
Reality is kings have been playing most the year without a backup pg. With Fox and at times Monk being the only guys who can go get a shot. That's not sustainable an entire season for his crash play style.
But na let's just question the guys motor some more without actually watching him play or putting any human context into it. Lol
