Fred VanVleet’s story truly is impressive and should be inspirational.
An undrafted, undersized, not really athletically gifted young man goes from prospect to NBA star by sheer hard work and determination and belief in himself.
It’s a familiar tale to Raptors fans and around the league. VanVleet has put himself among the elite point guards in the game.
The rest of the world may learn more about him later this year.
VanVleet will be named to the 60-player pool from which the United States team for this summer’s Tokyo Olympics will be chosen, according to sources granted anonymity because the entire list has not yet been made public.
