De’Aaron Fox on Kings win over Jazz, Monk’s injury & aggressiveness from teammates

Uh I mean um today for sure uh I think everyone wants to be LSU Iowa game and then uh we know lindsy gotley and um keny Forbes that that are at USC so say definitely wants to watch that game she usually doesn’t want to watch any games

Would I know you mentioned there she some any thoughts and just what she offers yeah I mean I think she’s been obviously I think she’s been great this year um I mean played at Cal with SE so like that’s how we know them and uh she’s been fantastic this year and

Obviously you know they have they have a really good team and um definitely want them to make the final four for sure has it been more of a conversation I mean I know there’s a national conversation about how the women’s game seems a little bit more interesting woms at the

Moment just because of some of the star power and matchups yeah I mean I definitely think story lines are uh definitely play a big part in it but um I mean I think over the last couple years you could definitely say that um I mean been entertaining and I think

That’s what uh that’s what people want to see for sure uh just for you guys I mean last night seemed like it just needed the worst way to kind of alleviate some of the weight did that did that help yeah I mean I think um obviously I think I think we played well

Last night uh both offensively and defensively um I mean you know losing two in a row right at at this point in the season is definitely something that you don’t that you want to avoid but um getting that win last night definitely I mean it boosts some more R and uh we’re

Going we’re going into this game tomorrow confident what changes for you when Keegan and Harrison are are being aggressive and attacking like that uh I mean I think obviously it spreads the floor out even that much more and if teams you know don’t want to if if they’re hot and

Teams don’t want to if they continue want to load up on me um I think it just makes the game that much easier for them obviously when you see shots go in um you know the the rim starts to look a lot bigger and uh your confidence grows

Even that much more and um for me like I said they’re making shots obviously even if they’re not making shots like you continue to um get them easy looks but when when shots are definitely going in I mean it makes it makes the game a

Whole lot easier for all of us and what about not playing with Malik I know you guys shared the floor in lineup sometimes but what’s the biggest difference when he’s not out there uh I mean obviously I think you’re missing um such a dynamic player in terms of his

Scoring and his playmaking um but I mean with him not going to be here obviously for the rest of uh this regular season we have to find another way and um that’s me out there with Keon a lot me out there with Davon a lot um we’ve had

A conversation of what we want to run uh me being off the ball and just in terms of uh what we’re doing offensively and I think obviously defensively always having one of those guys out there you know makes us a better defensive team so um it works both ways for sure being off

Ball is that are you more comfortable in that regard as opposed to maybe when you first stepped into the league those first couple Seasons uh definitely definitely and uh I mean obviously I think a lot of it has to do with the shooting ability but also just learning

How to play um off of others and I think um um I mean since domas has been here I think I’ve played off ball you know a little more and um I’ve gotten a lot more comfortable doing it and I’m it’s not I wouldn’t say like I prefer doing

It but it makes the game a lot easier when you’re catching the ball without 10 eyes on you or you know 10 guys standing right in front of you so um it makes the game a whole lot easier for sure now scoring with obviously Keegan and Harrison provided last night do you guys

Feel like you can rely on some of that or do you feel like you and domos have to try to I don’t know backpack it a little bit more I mean obviously with someone like Malik Al um you know domas and I have to be better but at the end

Of the day um you know there are going to be games where just where you just don’t have it or you know you don’t just explode and you need um other guys to step up and W we we had that last night and obviously continue going forward uh

As a team we need everybody to step up not just one one guy isn’t going to you know take up 16 points and five six assists one one guy isn’t going to just make up for all that what did it mean for you to see guys like you know Trey

And Sasha come back after missing period of time and step up like how you it was definitely great for us I mean and when they were out there like the ball was moving um obviously both of those guys can shoot both those guys cut they both

Rebound um and they play well off of off of us so um it makes the game that much more fun and we’re able to pick up our Pace a little bit more you mentioned Davon and just over the past few games he’s been more aggressive looking for a

Shot how much more does him being aggressive make you guys offense more Dynamic uh we need that out of him because obviously when I’m on the court or you know Keegan or domas like especially when I’m on the court like I take away the best defender um I’m

Seeing a lot more blitzes now so it’s bringing the big away from the basket and uh we’re telling him like we we need you to get downhill we need you to put the ball in the basket because that helps us that helps our that helps our

Offense and it it kind of spreads the guys out even more so uh we want him to be aggressive on that end because we know everybody in this league knows what he can do defensively but um when he’s stepping his offensive game up and I

Think he’s done it a few times this year um it’s made our team has made our offense look that much more better how much of an adjustment has the physicality been you know they’re letting more things go but for you offensively when teams are being more physical has that been an adjustment at

All oh I mean of course when I’m shooting the ball and people are hitting my arms like that’s of course that that’s definitely an adjustment but um as far as physicality and getting bodied that that doesn’t bother me but if I’m trying to shoot the ball and people hit

My arms of course that’s yeah that’s going to bother you thank

De’Aaron Fox talked about the Kings win over Utah, what it means when Barnes and Keegan are aggressive, what its like playing without Malik and the increased physicality in the game.
