Brenden, Frankie, and Chris discuss the recent superstar level play of De'Aaron Fox on the latest Return of the Roar podcast episode.
Watch: Why expectations have shifted for Keegan Murray | 58 seconds
Brenden Nunes, Frankie Cartoscelli, and Chris Watkins are back with another episode of the Return of the Roar Sacramento Kings podcast. Fresh off De’Aaron Fox breaking the franchise record for points in a single game (60) and then scoring 49 points the night after, his play had to be the main topic of conversation.
Fox has stepped up his scoring production in the absence of DeMar DeRozan (back), Malik Monk (ankle), and Domantas Sabonis (back), who have all been sidelined due to various injuries. How will their pending returns affect his aggressive play and spiked production?
But his play didn’t lead to a winning streak. So, what else does head coach Mike Brown and his staff need to emphasize in order to string a run together?
Other topics discussed include
- Keegan Murray’s slow shooting start (29.9 percent from three)
- Keon Ellis set a new career-high with 33 points
- The backup center battle: Trey Lyles, Alex Len, Orlando Robinson, and Isaac Jones
- Two-Way Player to Monitor: Rookie Isaac Jones
- Kings starting to get more bench production from Jordan McLaughlin and Trey Lyles
- All that and PLENTY more!
The Return of the Roar podcast is available on all listening platforms and on YouTube.
