The recent four-game stretch in which the Sacramento Kings played without starting PG De'Aaron Fox may have seemed like merely a statistically-boosted blip for Tyrese Haliburton investors, as the second-year man shined with at least 20 points and 10 assists in each game, but perhaps it is more.
After all, the Kings had only one player among the top 50 on the ESPN Player Rater before that stretch, and it was not Fox. It was Haliburton, and that remains the case.
The Kings still lose more than they win for a variety of reasons, but Haliburton continues to make strides and he sure looks like the better option to run the team's offense moving forward.
