De'AaronFox
Point guard De'Aaron Fox brings All-Star and All-NBA recognition plus a steals title to the San Antonio Spurs backcourt.
Fox at a glance
De'Aaron Fox has a résumé built on pressure at both ends: All-Star recognition in 2023 and 2026, an All-NBA Third Team place, and a league steals title. Those honours identify a point guard who can score, organise and disrupt. They also trace a path from Kentucky, where he was SEC tournament MVP, to the professional game, where his value rests on production rather than reputation.
Fox now runs the point for the San Antonio Spurs, having been in the professional game since 2017. His role is to organise the offence, pressure the ball and turn steals into transition chances. Expectations follow those honours: San Antonio needs him to steady the backcourt and make the guard position a strength.
