Fred VanVleet was a revelation last season for the Toronto Raptors. The Wichita State walk-on literally came out of nowhere in his second season and proved emphatically that he belonged in the NBA. He did so by excelling almost every time he hit the floor, eventually emerging as Toronto’s key bench player as the season progressed.
Entering the third year of his career however, expectations will be much greater than ever before. FVV will be called upon to not only lead the second unit but also play the critical minutes deep into tight games that he was relied upon at the close out of last season.
