ESPN持续公布其2025-26赛季百大球员榜单，今日发布了第50至11位的球员。继斯蒂芬·卡斯尔 (Stephon Castle) 和德文·瓦塞尔 (Devin Vassell) 分列第94和第99位之后，德阿隆·福克斯 (De’Aaron Fox) 首次以马刺球员身份上榜，位列第35。以下是ESPN对他的评语：
- 德阿隆·福克斯，后卫，圣安东尼奥马刺
2024年NBA排名： 26
圣安东尼奥马刺队摘下榜眼秀迪伦·哈珀 (Dylan Harper)的举动，曾让专家们猜测球队是否还会不惜血本，用一份顶薪合同续约福克斯。然而，在球队内部，尽管这位老将后卫上赛季仅与球队基石维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama)并肩作战了五场比赛，但双方（对续约）从未有过疑虑。经过一个完整的休赛期与这位法国天才的磨合，福克斯期望这对组合能成长为几乎不可阻挡的挡拆搭档，并率领这支可以说是自王朝时代以来最具运动能力和全面性的马刺队。— (迈克尔·C·) 莱特
标志性数据： 福克斯是过去六个赛季中，唯二每个赛季都能场均贡献20分、5助攻和1抢断的球员之一（另一位是卢卡·东契奇 (Luka Doncic)）。
范特西数据预测： 23.6分, 5.9助攻, 1.5抢断
福克斯上赛季大部分时间都带着小拇指伤势作战，在二月份被马刺交易得到后，他仅为球队出战了17场比赛，随后便因接受手术而赛季报销，因此他的排名相较于上赛季初的第26位有所下滑。如今，他已恢复健康，并与新队友们进行了一整个夏天的合练，还手握一份全新的续约合同，人们期待他能与球队无缝衔接，并计划带领马刺自2019年以来首次重返季后赛。
此外，ESPN还发布了一篇专题讨论文章，邀请其员工就目前的榜单选择展开辩论。尽管前十名单尚未揭晓，但哪些球员还未出现已经不言自明。当被问及哪位球员的排名最让他们惊讶时，贾马尔·科利尔 (Jamal Collier) 暗示维克托·文班亚马尚未完全赢得前十的排名（友情剧透：他其实是在说反话）：
维克托·文班亚马非常出色，但目前将他排进前十还为时过早。我并不是说他达不到这个高度——甚至可能在本赛季结束时就能做到。但他确实还缺少联盟中其他前十球员所拥有的资历或关键时刻的表现。
当被要求对当前百大球员中的一位做出大胆预测时，豪尔赫·塞达诺 (Jorge Sedano) 对“外星人”文班亚马则给予了更多赞美：
文班亚马将成为NBA历史上第四位在同一个赛季包揽MVP和DPOY的球员（前三位是迈克尔·乔丹 (Michael Jordan)、哈基姆·奥拉朱旺 (Hakeem Olajuwon)和阿德托昆博 (Antetokounmpo)）。只要他能打满要求的出场次数，他就几乎锁定了DPOY奖项。我认为，要想在豪强林立的西部赢得MVP，马刺队必须拿到前六的种子席位。我敢打赌，届时会有一些有利因素出现，马刺队的实力也会有足够提升来达到这一标准。
需要补充说明的是，他指的是 在同一个赛季 。另有两位球员也在其职业生涯中赢得过这两项大奖——大卫·罗宾逊 (David Robinson) 和凯文·加内特 (Kevin Garnett)——只是并非在同一赛季。无论如何，这绝对算得上是一个“大胆的预测”，如果能在文班的第三个赛季就实现，那将是一项惊人的成就。正如前文所述，这不仅要求马刺队自身实现飞跃，进入季后赛，而且战绩还要超越附加赛区，他才有可能被纳入MVP的讨论范围（而DPOY几乎已是他的囊中之物）。
我们很快就会看到文班的最终排名，但有两名球员进入榜单前35位，对未来而言无疑是一个积极的信号！

De’Aaron Fox ranked 35th in ESPN’s Top 100 Players
ESPN continued it’s Top 100 players for the 2025-26 season, releasing players 50-11 today. After Stephon Castle and Devin Vassell came in at 94th and 99th, respectively, De’Aaron Fox makes his first appearance as a Spur at 35th. Here is what they had to say:
35. De’Aaron Fox, G, San Antonio Spurs
2024 NBA Rank: 26
San Antonio’s acquisition of No. 2 pick Dylan Harper left pundits wondering whether the Spurs would break the bank to re-sign Fox to a max contract. Internally, however, there was never a doubt on either side despite the veteran guard playing just five games last season alongside franchise cornerstone Victor Wembanyama. With a full offseason to work with the French phenom, Fox expects the duo to round into a near-unstoppable pick-and-roll combo that will lead arguably the most athletic and versatile Spurs roster since the franchise’s dynasty days. — (Michael C.) Wright
Signature stat: Fox is one of two players to average 20 points, 5 assists and 1 steal in each of the past six seasons (with Luka Doncic).
Fantasy projection: 23.6 PTS, 5.9 AST, 1.5 STL
Fox experienced a bit of a drop from 26th at the beginning of last season after playing with a damaged pinkie the entire time, only appearing in 17 games with the Spurs after they acquired him in February before they shut him down for surgery. Now healthy with a full summer of practice with his new teammates and a brand new extension under his belt, the fit will hopefully be more even seamless as he plans to help lead the Spurs to their first playoff appearance since 2019.
As an added bonus, ESPN also had a debate article with its staff about the picks so far. While the top 10 has yet to be revealed, who hasn’t shown up is an obvious tell. When asked which player rankings had surprised them the most, Jamal Collier suggested Victor Wembanyama hadn’t quite earned his top 10 ranking yet (sarcastic spoiler alert):
Victor Wembanyama is awesome, but top 10 is too high for him at this moment. I’m not saying he won’t get there — even by the end of this upcoming season. But he simply doesn’t have the credentials or pressure performances of the other top-10 players in the league.
When asked to make a bold prediction about a current top 100 player, Jorge Sedano was a bit more complimentary of The Alien:
Wembanyama will be the fourth player in NBA history to win both MVP and DPOY (Michael Jordan, Hakeem Olajuwon, Antetokounmpo). He’s a lock to win DPOY provided he logs the requisite amount of games. I think for him to win the MVP in a loaded Western Conference, the Spurs will have to be a top-six seed. I’m willing to bet there will be some things that bounce their way and that the Spurs will be improved enough to reach that benchmark.
As a little added clarification, he means IN THE SAME SEASON. Two other players have also won both awards in their career — David Robinson and Kevin Garnett — just not in the same season. Regardless, that definitely falls under the “bold prediction” category and would be quite the accomplishment in just Wemby’s third season. As mentioned, it will require the Spurs themselves to make a leap not just to the postseason, but also above the play-in for him to even be considered for MVP (DPOY is probably a near given).
We’ll see where Wemby actually falls soon, but having two players in the top 35 is a good sign of things ahead!
