D Fox is making this shyt look so easy, there ain't a nikka in this league who will be able to stay in front of dude. Dude has like 19-22 points off like 10-11 shooting with no turnovers, he is a great finisher at the basket and feeds the big man extremely well. Him and Lonzo will be a great rivalry for a long time imo.

All I know is that this year's Rookie of the Year award race is going to be the complete opposite of last year's race. Might be the most competitive race when it comes to awards. Someone gotta bump that ROY thread that was made after the draft.
