Sign A Reliable Backup For De’Aaron Fox

There is no question that De’Aaron Fox solidified himself as the Kings’ starting point guard going forward with how he performed in his sophomore campaign. But that does not mean that the point guard spot overall is not set for the purple and white.

For the Kings to take that next step forward, they need more reliability at the point guard position, specifically the backup point guard spot. They need another facilitator who can run BOTH the fastbreak and halfcourt offense well night in and night out.

Last season, the Kings did have guys like Yogi Ferrell and Frank Mason III who shined occasionally last season, but there were also times where they either were inconsistent with their efficiency or did not play like the pure distributor that the Kings desperately need for their roster.

It would be a tough ask for a young player to take on the facilitator role and produce every game. So if the Kings are going to add this type of player this summer, they are probably going to target veteran point guards.

Some options that stand out are Derrick Rose, Ish Smith, and Patrick Beverley. Hopefully, Vlade is able to attract them for a meeting with the team.
