De'Aaron Fox reflects on opportunity to play with Spurs, Victor Wembanyama

Ahead of his debut with the San Antonio Spurs, De'Aaron Fox reflected on the opportunity to share touches with a generational talent like Victor Wembanyama. He had nothing but positive things to say about the Frenchman and their partnership.

"It's a very unique opportunity," Fox said, via ESPN. "Not many guys come around like that. And I think it's not just him, but everybody else. With the way they're built, with the athleticism, with the length that they have and also the youth, I just felt like this could be a special team."

Fox added that the fit is "spectacular" and the Spurs could emulate the OKC Thunder in terms of developing their players and cashing in on the rookie contracts they have to bring more pieces to compete for the championship.
