Sean Cunningham says De’Aaron Fox has something to prove after initial All-Star snub

Fox 40’s Sean Cunningham joined Cattles & Ramie on Friday to talk about the latest storylines around the NBA, his reaction to the Kings’ win over the Portland Trail Blazers, and what’s in store tonight against the Los Angeles Clippers. Plus, does De’Aaron Fox have a chip on his shoulder right now?

All that and more on Cattles & Ramie.

“I think we’re starting to see it, it feels like he has turned a bit of a corner,” Sean Cunningham said on the show Friday. “And it’s so funny that it comes at a time where he’d like to be an All-Star, he thinks he was going to be considered for it, he doesn’t get it and then he gets voted as an injury replacement. I don’t think he loved the fact that he didn’t make it, and then hearing he is an injury replacement may not have the same kind of juice to it.”

Topics discussed include:

  • His thoughts on the Kings’ win over the Trail Blazers
  • Who is the most important player down the stretch for Sacramento?
  • Can De’Aaron Fox take it to another level into the playoffs?
  • How has Mike Brown unlocked Fox this year?
  • Can Sacramento’s defense be overshadowed by the offense?
  • Where does Sean see the Kings finishing in the regular season?
