Fox has an outstanding first step from both a stand still position and off the dribble and is an explosive leaper with the ability to finish above the rim regularly. He is an absolute blur with the ball in the open court and has great shiftiness that allows him to get to the rim at will. Fox also has a tight handle and does a terrific job of changing gears; his ability to play slow to fast is partly what makes him so difficult to guard on the perimeter. It's astonishing that his moves are so effective, given that he isn't a threat as a jump shooter, especially from range (where he is especially woeful). He simply does not have TMBSL range at this point. He is not an elite facilitator yet, but he has solid vision (5.8 assists per 40 minutes). His ability to collapse the defense on the drive points towards high upside as a playmaker, as he also has the size to see over the top of the defense. He shows great motor in this end of the court as well, as he does en exemplary job of helping off the ball, and still closing out to his man under control when the ball is kicked out. He does an outstanding job of stopping his man’s first move and forcing him to change directions, though he is not a prolific swiper of the ball. Fox is still young but he will need to add strength and fill out his wiry frame to hold up over time against the bigger guards in the league.
