福克斯速度飞快，马刺队转换进攻效率很高。将他们结合在一起，无疑为文班亚马增添了一件利器。
自从2017年进入NBA以来，达龙·福克斯(De’Aaron Fox)的名声就与一项主要技能紧密相连，这项技能也必然会在任何分析中被提及：他速度很快。现在，他将这项技能，以及他的所有本领，带到了圣安东尼奥。
虽然众所周知他很快，但重要的是要指出他不仅仅是快。普遍的共识是，他是联盟中最快的球员，并且已经持续了好几年，这一事实得到了年度NBA总经理调查的支持。在2024-2025赛季开始时，52%接受调查的高管投票认为福克斯是带球速度最快的球员，这已经是福克斯第三次获得此殊荣。
当谈论这个时代的一个流行词——节奏时，速度显然是一个主要因素。“提速比赛”是每位教练都会在某个时候提及的事情。这是一个很好的谈论点，因为它很基础。更快的球权转换意味着更多的球权，也就意味着（潜在地）更多的得分。目前，马刺队每48分钟的球权次数略高于100次，排名联盟第9。如果他们想提高这个数字，他们刚刚签下了一位合适的球员。
正如前面提到的，福克斯速度很快，并且他利用这一点来发挥自己的优势。在之前效力国王队的4.5个赛季里，他在场时，国王队每48分钟的球权次数比他不在场时快1.85次。如果将此添加到马刺队目前的节奏中，他们将排名联盟第5。
除了增加球权之外，福克斯还擅长将球权转化为得分。根据cleaningtheglass.com的数据，在2022年、2023年和2024年的赛季中，国王队通过转换进攻平均每100次球权增加2.4分，这一数字在后卫中排名第95百分位左右。虽然不可避免地要提到，他在本赛季效力萨克拉门托国王队时的这个数字是-1.3，但可以用围绕国王队和福克斯直到他被交易的背景来解释。在他效力圣安东尼奥马刺队的短暂生涯中，福克斯每100次球权增加了10.5分的转换进攻得分。虽然这个数字不可持续，但仍然非常出色，并且可能是未来发展趋势的一个信号。
福克斯现在还有一个额外的好处，那就是维克托·文班亚马(Victor Wembanyama)和他一起在场上飞奔。文班亚马可能没有福克斯那么快，但他却是球场上最高和臂展最长的球员。这开启了无限的可能性。文班亚马可以提前跑到前场参与进攻，而福克斯可以追上他。文班亚马可以在篮下盖掉投篮，然后传给在球场上飞奔的福克斯。福克斯可以抢到篮板和完成抢断，文班亚马可以在身后跟进，无论是作为射手还是终结者。两人都拥有强大的运动能力，这可以成为他们二人组合的一大亮点。
最重要的是，马刺队已经在转换进攻中表现出很高的效率，每次进攻能得到1.29分，排名联盟第5。然而，他们并没有经常进行转换进攻，仅占总进攻次数的15.4%。单就这一点而言，并不是一件坏事，球队不应该为了提速而提速，而且克里斯·保罗(Chris Paul)是一位喜欢放慢半场节奏的控球后卫。但是，现在他们有了福克斯这件利器，他们可以将这种效率转化为致命的威胁。一旦这两位球星培养出默契，对于那些试图在转换进攻中阻止他们的人来说，将会面临“选择毒药”的困境。
想要提速是一回事，以高效的方式提速则是另一回事。有了福克斯，高效提速就成为了一种真正的可能性。再加上他的经验和态度，这预示着圣安东尼奥马刺队的未来一片光明。唯一遗憾的是，他没有更早地穿上银黑战袍。

What De’Aaron Fox means to the Spurs’ pace
Fox is fast and the Spurs are efficient in transition. Bringing them together just adds another weapon for Wembanyama.
Since entering the NBA in 2017, De’Aaron Fox’s reputation bore one predominant skill that will surely be brought up in any analysis: he’s fast. Now, he brings that skill, along with the rest of his bag, to San Antonio.
While it’s known he is quick, it’s important to note that he isn’t only just that. The general consensus is he’s the fastest player in the Association and has been for several years, a fact that’s backed up by the annual NBA General Manager survey. 52 percent of the executives questioned voted Fox as the fastest player with the ball at the start of the 2024-2025 season, an honor he had already received three times previous.
Speed can obviously be a major factor when talking about one of this era’s buzzwords, pace. “Playing with pace” is something every coach mentions at some point or another. It’s a good talking point because it’s fundamental. Quicker possessions mean more possessions which means (potentially) more points. Currently, the Spurs are just over 100 possessions per 48 minutes, 9th in the league. And if they want to increase that, they just added the right player.
As mentioned, Fox is quick, and he uses that to his advantage, In his previous 4.5 seasons with the Kings, they played 1.85 possessions per 48 minutes faster with him on the court compared to off. Add that to the Spurs’ current pace, and they would be 5th in the league.
Along with those added possessions, Fox has a knack for converting them into points. On average, the Kings added 2.4 points per 100 possessions with transition play over the 2022, 2023, and 2024 seasons, per cleaningtheglass.com, a number that sits right around the 95th percentile among guards. And while it shouldn’t go unmentioned that that number was -1.3 this season with Sacramento, it can be caveated with the context surrounding the Kings and Fox until he was traded. In his young career with San Antonio, Fox has added 10.5 transition points per 100 possessions. A number that, while unsustainable, is still remarkable and could be a sign of things to come.
Fox now has the added benefit of Victor Wembanyama running the floor with him. He may not be as quick as Fox but he is the tallest and longest player on the court. This opens up a world of possibilities. Wembanyama can leak out to get back on offense early, and Fox can catch up to him. Wembanyama can swat shots away at the basket and feed to a racing Fox down the floor. Fox can grab rebounds and steals and go with Wembanyama trailing, either as a shooter or finisher. Both have the athletic abilities to make it a strong feature of their two man game.
On top of this, the Spurs already have been efficient in transition play, scoring 1.29 points per play, 5th in league. However, they don’t get out and run in transition all that often, only 15.4 percent of possessions. Which, on its own, isn’t a bad thing, a team shouldn’t play with pace for the sake of it and Chris Paul is a floor general that favors a slowed down halfcourt style. But now that they have the added weapon of Fox, they can take that efficiency and compound it into a deadly threat. Once the two stars get the chemistry down, they will be a “pick your poison” situation for those trying to stop them in transition.
It’s one thing to want to play with pace, and it’s another to play with efficient pace. With Fox, it’s a real possibility. Combine that with his experience, and attitude and it’s a sign of good things to come in San Antonio. The only shame is that he wasn’t wearing Silver and Black sooner.
