De'Aaron Fox: I Felt Like The Fit With Victor Wembanyama Would Be Spectacular
De'Aaron Fox targeted the San Antonio Spurs as his preferred destination and has his wish fulfiilled a few days before the trade deadline. Fox made his debut alongside Victor Wembanyama in a narrow win over the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday.
"Not many guys come around like that," Fox said of Wembanyama. "And, I think, not just him but everybody else (in the Spurs' young core). I felt like the fit would be spectacular. And I feel like I have a lot of years left to play."
Fox said he believes he can have an instant offensive impact.
"What this team struggles with is some of the things I can bring: self-creation outside of Vic, being able to touch the paint, being able to get into the teeth of the defense, being able to collapse defenses," Fox said. "And also I feel like even in games where I haven't played well, I still command attention. My guys never just leave me."
