After acquiring six-time All-Star and three-time All-NBA selection DeMar DeRozan, the Sacramento Kings have their own version of Big Three with him, Domantas Sabonis, and De’Aaron Fox.
Between the three of them, defenses will have their hands full trying to guard them. That much is obvious. Last season, the three players averaged a combined 70 PPG. That number probably won’t continue now that they are all on the same team, but it is impressive nonetheless.
But just in case you need an explanation of how dominated the trio will be, Sabonis is here to tell you. And here is what he had to say about the matter during a recent conversation with HoopsHype’s Michael Scotto.
“Everyone knows what Fox can do. He’s been the Clutch Player of the Year. Whenever we need a bucket, he has it. We all know about DeMar. He’s been in the league a long time and has a lot of respect. I think it’s tough. Teams are going to have to put the best defender on one of those two guys, and then the other one will be loose. It’s going to put us in a good area. For all those rankings, let’s see how the season plays out. We’ll be ready to come in and go after it,” Sabonis told Scotto in an interview.
The reason people pay so much for great role players (like the New York Knicks with Mikal Bridges) is because they are in scarce supply.
