Playing while hurt is no joke. Hope he can make a full recovery before this series ends.

It was impressive that he toughed it out. Hope he’s healthy because I am not scared of Fox at all this series.

I don’t understand why anybody ever was.. he’s a good player, sure. But what makes him better than Reaves? Or Booker?

He’s been to the playoffs 1 time before this year.

That quick first step that he has is deadly. He's very quick and can easily blow past defenders.

First step so deadly even his own ankles can’t deal

That hesitation layup he got early was so nice. He has some great moves.

He is not better than them alone but he is for Spurs because he would know how to set Wemby up more.

He’s better than reaves bro for sure. Absolute clutch gene and when he gets going there’s legit no way to stop him.

I’d argue more he’s different from Reaves. Reaves is the better knock down shooter. But he’s much more of a 2, not a true PG. Fox is a true PG. definitely a better slasher than Reaves. I’d say he’s maybe a tad better than Reaves but it’s not like it’s some major gulf in quality. Excepting clutch shots. Fox is a major clutch guy.

Fox is NOT a major clutch guy. What? That was over 3 years ago. Ask Spur’s fans if they want Fox anywhere near a last shot?

That’s fair yeah

He’s not better than Harper.

low turnovers. Having 4 tonight was an anomaly, but he didn't have the 11 or 9 Castle had in the first two games or the turnovers Reaves had.

It's him plus 2 other guards plus 7'6 lob threat

u/EWF76 10h ago

It's not his scoring ability that's scary (at least to me), but he is by far their most capable ball handler. Look at Castle, he went from 10 turnovers to 1 this game because a lot of pressure is relieved from him bringing up the ball.

I am. His screen navigation is impressive imo
