The Toronto Raptors may have had to say goodbye to Kyle Lowry after nine seasons, but they aren’t exactly deficient at the point guard position as a result of this move, as Fred VanVleet appears to be more than ready to take over the scoring load following No. 7’s departure.
VanVleet averaged 19.6 points and 6.3 assists per game last year, his first after signing a four-year contract that locks him in with Toronto through the 2023-24 season.
