When the Toronto Raptors traded Cory Joseph to the Indiana Pacers this summer, it opened up a competition during training camp and the preseason for the main backup point guard role behind starter Kyle Lowry. The two players competing for that spot are Delon Wright and Fred VanVleet.
"Being the competitors that we are, we've been coming in and competing against each other every day," VanVleet told Sportsnet.ca. “But to have that at stake makes it more enthusiastic, I'll just say that."
According to Michael Grange of Sportsnet, neither Wright nor VanVleet have played better than the other during the first two preseason games against the LA Clippers.
