De'Aaron Fox #5 of the Sacramento Kings shoots over Gary Payton II #8 of the Golden State Warriors during Game Two of the Western Conference First Round Playoffs at Golden 1 Center on April 17, 2023 in Sacramento, California.

Sacramento Kings guard De’Aaron Fox is turning heads in his playoffs debut. And he’s got the attention of former Kings’ point guard Mike Bibby.

In two games, Fox has averaged 31 points, 3 rebounds, 3.5 steals and 7 assists. His play has helped the Kings jump out to a 2-0 series lead against the Golden State Warriors.

On Tuesday’s edition of The Carton Show, Bibby had a bold take about how far the Kings can go if Fox keeps playing this well.

“I think he’s the best player in the series,” Kings’ legend Mike Bibby said on “The Carton Show” Tuesday morning. “I mean it’s showing. If he keeps going the way he is, like I said, I have them going to the Finals if he keeps playing the way he is.”

With the games on national television, the world is finally seeing what Sacramento has known for a while, that Fox is special and on the verge of breaking out.
