The Toronto Raptors are making a huge change at point guard this season, as the end of the Kyle Lowry era means that Fred VanVleet is in line to succeed him as the team’s point guard following Lowry’s magnificent near-decade at the helm.
VanVleet’s 19.6 points and 6.3 assists per game, numbers that are a bit of a misnomer considering how he was hampered with injuries in the latter part of the season, gave the Raptors plenty of confidence that he will be able to take over Lowry’s responsibilities on both ends of the floor.
