Toronto Raptors' Fred VanVleet scores 54 points to break franchise record

Before this season began, Toronto Raptors guard Fred VanVleet set a record by signing the biggest contract for an undrafted free agent in NBA history: four years, $85 million.

Tuesday night, VanVleet added two other records to his name by scoring 54 points in Toronto's 123-108 victory over the Orlando Magic, the most ever by an undrafted player in NBA history, surpassing Moses Malone's record of 53, as well as besting DeMar DeRozan's franchise record of 52.

"Unbelievable. I'm very humbled and honored to be in the same sentence as both of those guys," said VanVleet, who finished the game 17-for-23 from the field, 11-for-14 from the 3-point line and 9-for-9 from the line.
