De'Aaron Fox

Media Day Press Conference

Q. (On Sasha Vezenkov.) DE'AARON FOX: I've actually looked at film of him. It's funny because I tell Keegan (Murray) this a lot, and I'm like, Keegan, if we want to win a championship at some point, either you're going to be one of those guys or we're going to find one of those guys because at the end of the day I think a lot of -- like it's an extremely wing-based league where most of the time the better teams have one of the better wings in the league.

Being able to see someone like him play and what he's done in the EuroLeague is crazy, just how efficient that he's playing. Obviously, we would love for him to come over and just add to our team. I feel like you can never have a team that's too deep.

Q. (No microphone).

DE'AARON FOX: I think he would be a great fit. I've seen where he doesn't dribble a lot. He's a guy who can play out of the mid-post. He shoots the ball extremely well. For one, if you can shoot the ball well in this league, there's a spot for you. Some team, there's going to be -- especially where you're 6-7, 6-8 and you can shoot the ball, there are a lot of spots for you in this league.

Q. For players playing in Greece, what advice would you give?

DE'AARON FOX: Oh, man, one, it's just continuing to be patient and continuing to try to improve your game. When you're one of those guys that can shoot the ball, you probably don't have to be super athletic, you don't have to be super fast. Like I said, there's always going to be a spot for you because one, you can shoot over people, people aren't just blocking your shot, and two, you can be a spot-up shooter to where you're playing off of a player that's really good.

Just shooting is always going to be a big part of it.
