De'Aaron Fox has been the leader for the Kings

The Sacramento Kings have been one of the pleasantly surprising teams of this season currently lying in the 8th playoff spot with a 10-10 record in the Western Conference. They have their sophomore De'Aaron Fox to thank for that.

Fox has provided tremendous leadership to this young core of Kings and has become their most pivotal player. His speed and playmaking makes the entire team better. The Kings are one of the teams that are playing with the fastest pace this season.

Fox is averaging 17.5 PPG and 7.5 assists per game this season. He has also surprised many by his consistent shooting from the 3PT line this season. Viewed as a non-shooter, Fox is still averaging an above league average 38.1% from the 3PT line. This improvement from outside the box has made Fox even more lethal and he is able to find his teammates in more open spaces.

The Sacramento Kings may not reach the playoffs this year but Fox's development into a star will be highly critical for them.
