De’Aaron Fox is finally living up to the potential of a franchise cornerstone for the Sacramento Kings. Despite years of treading water, it seems the Kings will finally end their almost two-decade playoff appearance drought this season, with the Kings slowly establishing themselves as the third seed in the West.
Domantas Sabonis and Fox make a lethal duo, with new coach Mike Brown ensuring that the Kings’ offense is one of the most potent in the league. The team has shooters galore but Fox is the head of the snake. As a result, he has been earmarked for a possible All-Star selection as a reserve.

Fox is averaging 24.3 points, 6.1 assists, and 4.3 rebounds while also shooting 50% from the field. His lack of shooting acumen is made up by the players around him, as Fox’s ability to make defenses contract creates amazing looks for everyone on the roster.
Is An All-Star Selection Likely For De’Aaron Fox?
If the Kings were to have an All-Star, it will most likely be Domantas Sabonis. Sabonis was considered to be snubbed from the starters list, so he will likely be the first name for bigs on the reserves. Fox, on the other hand, is fighting off extremely stiff competition.
Ja Morant, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, and Devin Booker are yet to have their names announced as All-Stars, with all of them likely to be named. Fox’s durability and continued level of success for a team that many consider overachieving should be recognized and the league.
The decision is up to the coaches, so it’s likely that they recognize Fox’s incredible season and name him over one of those guards, if not alongside them.
