Fred VanVleet's journey from undrafted to the Rockets is remarkable

From a High School star to not receiving any major college offers to leading a record-breaking college program, passed on by every team in the 2016 draft (some twice), Fred VanVleet has been overlooked at every turn. Despite all the obstacles that have been placed in front of him, VanVleet has defied all the odds to become an NBA All-Star and NBA Champion. Now VanVleet is tasked with turning around the Houston Rockets franchise after three of its worst seasons in franchise history.

VanVleet has consistently won at every level, including helping Wichita State win 120 games over his four-year career, setting records never seen in the NCAA and helping the Toronto Raptors win their first and only NBA championship.
