De'Aaron Fox's offseason transformation has been so mind-blowing that he literally got a call from the NBA's doping police after he posted a photo of himself on social media. As it turns out, Sacramento Kings teammate Tyrese Haliburton is also following suit, and their offseason transformation should have the rest of the NBA shaking.
Apparently, Fox has now put on a whopping 30 pounds since he was drafted as a rookie in 2017:
Kings PG De'Aaron Fox discusses another offseason where getting bigger & stronger was the ultimate goal. He says he tips the scales at 197 today, 30 pounds heavier than where he was at the NBA's combine prior to his rookie season, & sees himself playing above 200 lbs. one day. pic.twitter.com/vA9zOf9toM

Based on his statement above, he's not done yet. Fox continues to work on his physique as the Kings star looks to peak at over 200 pounds once it's all said and done.
Tyrese Haliburton isn't lagging too far behind either. According to a report, the 21-year-old also put on as much as 10 pounds in the offseason:
Kings guard Tyrese Haliburton says he has put on about 10 pounds. He has worked on his ballhandling and finishing with both hands, and wants to get to the free throw line more this season.

If you need proof, then have a look at a photo the Kings guard recently shared on his own Instagram account:

Their physical stature is just one element these two have been working on, and it goes without saying that the Kings pair have also been putting a lot of offseason work on their respective games. Sacramento has one of the most promising young cores in the entire NBA — including NBA Summer League reigning MVP Davion Mitchell — and it looks like they're going to make an impact this coming season.
