Fox is going to be an all star at the next level.
- Thread starter smooth as butter
- Start date
That would be a tall order. Just look at all the quality point guards in the NBA right now. He'd have to pass a lot of absolute studs to make an all-star team.
Of course, those dudes will eventually retire. But I think him potentially making an All-Star team is quite a few years down the road. Hope I'm wrong.

Fox is a winner that will get his shot down to where he is a serious threat outside. Once that happens you can't guard a player like him. Kid is a winner that any team would be lucky to have.
Well he did say similar things to Wall, not totally like Wall. I think Fox will be a player we will hear from. Not sure about the all star thing either.

Glad you logged in to let us know
If he can figure out how to nail a consistent 3 pointer like he did in high school, he becomes unguardable
Past my aids test! And Medicadaccepted me! Lastly, my food stamp card finally came in late. It was suppose to be here da first of da month! Thanks Obama! How ya been smooth?
Will be tough. This is the golden era of pgs in the NBA. He will need to improve his shot a lot to be able to be an all star
I think both Fox and Monk will become NBA All-Stars.
I don't watch the NBA either, and I couldn't care less - except for watching to see how much more progress U.K. players make in their development after they get to the NBA -- as opposed to (IMHO) how little progress they make in their development while at U.K. Except for guys like Dom and Willis, our o-a-d players are great when they get here and (again, IMHO) generally very little better when they leave. There are exceptions - but they are exceptions to what I believe is the general rule.

Fox isn't half the player he will ultimately be - just beginning to tap his potential. That's a scary thought. Hope he gets drafted by a decent team.
I will watch an NBA game if there are UK player(s) in it. There is some great Bball, but becomes predictable who is going to shoot/create a shot when time runs down.
He won't be the PG Wall is, just a different type of player, but he's talented. More of the new age "score first, pass later...or not at all" PG that's so hip in the NBA.
But man Wall is *rare*. He can score 40 like these score first PGs but he can also drop 20 dimes. Plays D like a warrior.
Fox ain't Wall. Not in the same league physically or in terms of being a true PG. But he is that new age type of scoring guard, and will have a lot of success.
He's not the competitor either. Fox took a lot of plays off over the season. Turned it on when he felt like it. Wall was a dog, ultimate competitor.
I just really love John Wall. Fox should be a better shooter though, which will help him greatly.

I'm definitely less bullish on Fox as an NBA prospect than Wall, but it's not a stretch to say he could be that good. Strength and shot at two big concerns, he has everything else on steroids. But those are two big concerns. He also has great intangibles.
Wall is taller, longer, and better passer.
Fox is better shooter, but he didn't really prove it this year.
I think Fox is just a step or two below Wall.
