De'Aaron Fox's new report card proves he's answered his biggest questions

If it weren't for the mind-bending Luka Doncic trade at last year's deadline, the deal that sent De'Aaron Fox to San Antonio would have been the biggest headline. With the move, fans were split. Many thought the Spurs made a mistake, while others thought it was franchise-altering.

Further, the doubt was extended when Fox received a massive payday after just a handful of games with the team during the 2024-25 season. As we entered the latest season, the outlook on De'Aaron was all over the place. It didn't help that he would be starting the year injured either. Above all else, Spurs fans wondered, could the veteran point guard be the right co-star for Victor Wembanyama?

Fox has answered every doubter

Well, the answer to the question is a firm yes. With all of the buzz surrounding his name, De'Aaron Fox has answered the call and lived up to it in every way possible. If you thought the former Sacramento King couldn't regain his All-NBA form, then you would be dead wrong.

All of the things that make De'Aaron, De'Aaron, have shone with the Spurs. The "King of the Fourth Quarter" has shown up in several monumental moments. The former Clutch Player of the Year has shown that he still has the inhuman ability to will his team to victory.

As an offensive weapon, Fox has been electric. Averaging a supreme 21.9 points per game, the shooting stroke has been flaming hot, and his aggressiveness has been on full display. The point guard has missed a beat and has quickly regained his status as one of the best offensive players in the NBA. But the most impressive of his 2025 accolades has been his efficiency.

Swipa is playing like a true veteran

The 28-year-old is shooting a career high in both field goal percentage and three-point percentage. Much of this can be attributed to the added offensive weapons around him. With better help by his side, he can take more effective shots.

The two-man game with Victor Wembanyama and De'Aaron Fox has also lived up to the billing. While we haven't seen a ton of it thus far, it is clear that this pair can coexist and thrive together.

Beyond his premier scoring, Fox has excelled as a playmaker. The head of the ship, De'Aaron, has been ruthless in dishing the ball and has hardly made any mistakes in the process. He has proven to be the perfect engine for the Spurs' 5th-ranked offense and is a significant reason for their success as a cohesive unit.

Say goodbye to any De'Aaron Fox trade rumors or the idea of trading for a new star alongside Victor Wembanyama. I don't want to hear anything about that for the foreseeable future. Fox has done more than enough to prove he was worth the trade package and the massive contract. He has easily been one of the most impressive Spurs and deserves a lot of credit for what he has done.
