Mannix! What’s up with my Kings? With [De’Aaron] Fox back they are back to scoring a ton. But what about the defense? Are they ever going to be good enough on that end to be a real contender? -Jerome, Oakland.
You’re right about the offense, Jerome. Sacramento’s offensive rating is 14 points better with Fox on the floor, thanks largely due to the 32.2 points per game he is averaging this season. He scored 73 points in back-to-back wins over San Antonio and Dallas, making 11 threes in them. There’s little reason to doubt that if Fox stays healthy, the Kings offense will be as good as it was last season.
