穆雷应该会在圣安东尼奥大放异彩，并且能让他的队友，包括维克托·文班亚马(Victor Wembanyama)，打得更轻松。
马刺队的新援德章泰·穆雷(De’Aaron Fox)可能会在周三对阵老鹰队的比赛中首次亮相。在经历了几场艰难的失利之后，圣安东尼奥需要注入一些能量，而这位明星控球后卫应该能够做到这一点。
看看穆雷如何适应马刺，以及马刺如何适应穆雷，将会非常有趣。与每一笔赛季中期交易一样，在进行重要比赛之前，没有太多时间学习战术术语并与队友培养默契。话虽如此，穆雷应该能够在几个方面立即提供帮助，尤其是在进攻端。让我们来仔细看看。
穆雷-文班二人组应该会是致命的
根据Synergy Sports的数据，马刺队在挡拆持球人完成的回合数上排名联盟第28位，在该情况下每回合得分排名第25位。这是有道理的，因为挡拆后没有精英级别的威胁可以发起进攻。
现在穆雷来了，情况应该会有所改变。这位天才控球后卫在挡拆中的投篮出手次数上排名联盟第15位，并且尽管出手次数很多，他仍然是联盟中该情况下效率最高的得分手之一。他可以在球场上的任何位置得分，但他成功的关键在于他的抛投，当面对收缩防守时，他会完美地运用抛投。他利用掩护摆脱防守者，攻击大个子，后者由于担心传球而不敢轻易扑防，然后在防守者后退时停下脚步，用左手完成抛投。
穆雷是一个高出手次数的挡拆得分手，这可能意味着文班亚马的挡拆得分机会会减少，但他应该会得到更好的出手机会。文班仍然可以进行挡拆外切投篮，但如果穆雷的抛投打开了局面，这将迫使防守方致力于阻止他，而不是将所有注意力都集中在文班身上，从而创造出空接机会。他们的挡拆将会是一种“两瓶毒药选一瓶”的情况，因为他们都能得分，而协防则意味着会漏掉一个投手或空切球员。他们两人也都能攻击换防，所以这对防守方来说也不是一个解决方案。
不幸的是，需要考虑空间问题。马刺队经常会安排一名，有时是两名非射手球员上场，这可能会对穆雷-文班二人组的配合产生负面影响。穆雷的跳投和抛投仍然会让他充满威胁，而且总可以选择让杰里米·索汉(Jeremy Sochan)进行掩护，而文班则拉开空间，圣安东尼奥已经在这样做了。
穆雷的速度应该能帮助马刺队以更好的节奏比赛，即使在半场阵地战中也是如此
对手经常会安排更大的球员来防守克里斯·保罗(Chris Paul)，并在发球时对他施压，用他们的身体对抗来干扰他，因为他们知道39岁的保罗无法通过速度突破这些球员来惩罚他们。他们无法对穆雷这样做，这应该有助于提高比赛节奏，让球队更快地进入进攻状态。这看起来可能是一件小事，但任何看过马刺队花费很长时间来组织进攻，最后不得不仓促出手的人都知道这很重要，而且数据也支持这一点，因为圣安东尼奥在进攻最后四秒的出手次数上排名第九。
穆雷的速度也应该有助于球队在攻防转换中。他的速度如此之快，侵略性如此之强，以至于需要第二个防守者才能阻止他。这是保罗自己在被问及这笔交易时所说的一件事。
克里斯·保罗谈到用德章泰·穆雷的交易：“这根本不用想。你引进了一个全明星球员，他知道如何才能赢球。很多时候他会吸引包夹，尤其是在攻防转换中。”

马刺队不太可能从联盟节奏榜第13位跃升至前五名，但由于穆雷的到来，他们应该能够减少在进攻时间快结束时的出手次数，并在快攻中更有效地得分。
穆雷的得分能力应该能让其他球员扮演更小的角色
穆雷不像克里斯·保罗，甚至不像特雷·琼斯(Tre Jones)那样是一个纯粹的控球后卫，但这对圣安东尼奥来说是一个加分项。马刺队需要一个主要的持球人和外线得分手，而穆雷正是这样的人。事实上，穆雷作为外线明确的第一得分选择应该能帮助德文·瓦塞尔(Devin Vassell)。这位年轻侧翼本赛季最大的问题是他的干拔三分球命中率低以及失误率的上升。一个不同的、更注重无球的角色应该能帮助他，而穆雷可以促成这一点。
穆雷也会为其他人创造机会。他的助攻率并不令人印象深刻，但在萨克拉门托，穆雷与联盟中最好的传球型大个子之一多曼塔斯·萨博尼斯(Domantas Sabonis)分享球权和进攻控制权。在与萨博尼斯合作之前，他的助攻率要高得多。没有理由相信他不能在需要的时候提高他的组织能力，但这感觉上不会是立即发生的。
投篮不佳仍然是一个问题，但这并不是因为穆雷
穆雷的职业生涯三分球命中率为33%，本赛季的命中率略低于这个数字，但仔细观察数据就会发现，他不应该成为一个累赘。
穆雷场均六次三分球出手中，大约有一半来自干拔，他的命中率为33%。对手根本不可能每次挡拆都绕过掩护或放空他以抵消他的速度，因为他会出手，而且他会投进足够多的球让他们重新思考他们的策略。在无球状态下，穆雷的接球投篮命中率只有32%，这无疑是一个很低的数字，但他的空位投篮命中率为36%，所以防守方不能忽视他。作为参考，克里斯·保罗的接球投篮三分球命中率为30%，但他并没有被放空。
穆雷不会解决圣安东尼奥的投篮和空间问题，但他也不应该加剧这些问题。
穆雷不是一个完美的球员，但他非常适合马刺队的进攻体系。有了他提供真正的外线得分威胁，并让其他球员扮演他们应该扮演的角色，马刺队的进攻将会更快、更有活力、更均衡。接下来的几个月应该会很精彩。

How De’Aaron Fox will help the Spurs’ offense
Fox should thrive in San Antonio and could make the lives of his teammates, including Victor Wembanyama, much easier.
The Spurs’ recent addition, De’Aaron Fox, could debut on Wednesday against the Hawks. After a few tough losses, San Antonio could use a jolt of energy and the star point guard should be able to provide it.
It will be very interesting to see how Fox adapts to the Spurs and vice versa. As with every mid-season trade, there’s not much time to learn the terminology and develop chemistry with teammates before playing games that matter. That said, Fox should help immediately in several areas, especially on offense. Let’s take a closer look.
The Fox-Wemby two-man should be deadly
The Spurs rank 28th in the league in possessions finished by the pick-and-roll ball handler and 25th in points per possession in that setting, according to Synergy Sports. It makes sense since there was no elite threat to attack after a ball screen.
That should change now that Fox is around. The talented point guard ranks 15th in the league in field goal attempts in the pick-and-roll and is one of the most efficient scorers in the league in that setting despite his high volume. He can score from all over the floor, but a key to his success is his floater, which he deploys perfectly when facing drop defense. He uses the screen to get past his defender, attacks the big man, who can’t commit for fear of the pass, and stops to launch a lefty floater while the defender backpedals.
Fox being a volume pick-and-roll scorer could mean fewer pick-and-roll scoring opportunities for Wembanyama, but he should get much better looks. The pick-and-pop should continue to be there for Vic but if Fox gets it going with the floater, it will force the defense to commit to stopping him instead of focusing all their attention on Wemby, opening up lob opportunities. Their pick-and-roll will be “a pick your poison” type of situation as they can both score and sending help will mean leaving a shooter or cutter open. Both can also attack switches, so that’s not a solution for the defense.
There are spacing issues to consider, unfortunately. The Spurs often play one and sometimes two non-shooters, which could negatively impact the Fox-Wemby two-man game. Fox’s jumper and floater should still make him dangerous and there’s always the option to have Jeremy Sochan screen while Wembanyama spaces the floor, something San Antonio already does.
Fox’s quickness should help the Spurs play with better pace, even in the half-court
Opponents have often put bigger players on Chris Paul and pressured him on inbounds to disrupt him with their physicality because they knew Paul wasn’t going to be able to make them pay by blowing by those guys at age 39. They can’t do that to Fox, which should help with pace by getting the team into its sets quicker. It might seem like a small thing but anyone who has seen the Spurs take a long time to set up and have to rush a shot knows that it matters, and the numbers back it up, as San Antonio ranks ninth in shots taken in the last four seconds of the shot clock.
Fox’s quickness should also help in transition. He’s so fast and aggressive that it can take a second defender to slow him down. It’s one of the things Paul himself said when asked about the trade.
Chris Paul on the trade for De’Aaron Fox: “That’s a no-brainer. You bring somebody in that has been an All-Star & knows what it takes to win. He commands a double team a lot of times, especially in transition."
— Michael C. Wright (@ mikecwright) February 4, 2025
The Spurs won’t likely jump from 13th in pace to the top five in the league but should be able to take fewer shots late in the clock and score more efficiently on the break because of Fox.
Fox’s scoring prowess should allow others to play smaller roles
Fox is not a pure point guard like Chris Paul or even Tre Jones, but that’s a plus in San Antonio. The Spurs needed a primary ball handler and perimeter scorer and Fox is exactly that. In fact, Fox being the clear-cut first scoring option in the perimeter should help Devin Vassell. The young wing’s biggest issues this season are his low percentage on pull-up threes and an increase in turnover percentage. A different, more off-ball-focused role should help him, and Fox can facilitate it.
Fox will also create for others. His assist percentage is not impressive, but in Sacramento Fox shared the floor and the control of the offense with Domantas Sabonis, one of the best passing big men in the league. Before teaming up with Sabonis, his assist percentage was significantly higher. There’s no reason to believe he can’t up his playmaking if needed, but it doesn’t feel like it will be initially.
Poor shooting will still be a problem, but not because of Fox
Fox is a career 33 percent shooter and is connecting on a shade under that number this season, but a closer look at the numbers shows he shouldn’t be a liability.
Around half of Fox’s six three-point attempts per game come on pullups and he hits 33 percent on those. Opponents simply cannot go under every screen or space him out to nullify his quickness because he will take the shot and he’ll make enough of them to have them rethink their strategy. Off the ball, Fox is shooting just 32 percent on catch-and-shoot attempts per game, undoubtedly a low number, but he’s making 36 percent on his wide-open looks, so defenses can’t ignore him. For reference, Chris Paul is shooting 30 percent on catch-and-shoot threes and he’s not left open.
Fox won’t fix San Antonio’s shooting and spacing issues, but he shouldn’t exacerbate them either.
Fox is not a perfect player but he’s close to a perfect fit for the Spurs’ offense, which will be faster, more dynamic and more balanced now that he’s around to provide a true perimeter scoring threat and allow others to play the roles they are meant to play. The next few months should be exciting.
