What if I told you a team has a potential MVP candidate paired up with [a top-10 point guard](https://airalamo.com/fox-s-nonstop-growth-places-him-among-these-elite-point-guards)? Sounds pretty good, right? Well then, you should start putting some more respect on the San Antonio Spurs dynamic duo.
Some like to believe that rising megastar Victor Wembanyama is still in need of a co-star but forget that the Spurs may already have it with De'Aaron Fox. While we still need to see the pair battle it out together for a longer stretch of time, the writing is on the wall for this duo to transform the Spurs' playoff trajectory. If all goes well, this duo could quietly become one of the best in the entire NBA.
The stats speak for themselves
------------------------------
Without a ton of on-court evidence that this duo will wreak havoc on the NBA, we turn to the overwhelmingly obvious indication that they will succeed, which is their statistics. Combining their career average points per game, the pair boasts a whopping 44 points per game. But this doesn't account for [the massive jump Wembanyama is expected to make](https://airalamo.com/victor-wembanyama-single-handedly-spurs-offseason-best-nba) next season.
Averaging 24.3 points last season, the Alien has the potential to boost that up to over 27 if he makes the necessary changes to shot selection. Fox, on the other hand, has scored as high as 26.6 points for a season and can do so once again in San Antonio. While Fox will send some of his shots to the big man, he will still have plenty of opportunities to pile up the points.
In short, this duo has all the makings of a 50+ PPG duo. That feat is rarely achieved and is only done by some of the greatest in the NBA. With the ball in the hands of the Spurs' two superstars, buckets will be raining down all game long and will give the team a dominant 1-2 scoring punch at all times.
The duo will work perfectly together in the two-man game
--------------------------------------------------------
One of the biggest luxuries you can have in roster construction is having your best player be a center. This opens the door for an abundance of plays to be made with the center as the scoring hub. Look no further than Denver, where Nikola Jokic has produced an unstoppable offense. The same can be done in San Antonio with Wembanyama leading the charge.
Although Wembanyama doesn't have the same playmaking ability as Jokic, the upside for pick-and-pops with Fox is intriguing. Additionally, the superstar will draw in so much attention, which will give Fox a ton of room to operate. When the lengthy shooter is stretching out for a three-point look, the hasty point guard can take advantage and drive through an open lane to the basket.
The potential between this duo is limitless. Last season, we never got to truly see how great this pairing can be, but next season, their talents will be on full display. This Alamo City duo will quietly sneak up on the NBA and quickly become one of the best two-man groups that the league has to offer.
