Fred VanVleet has spent two years telling anyone who would listen that the plan was simple: Bet on yourself. On Friday afternoon, the Toronto Raptors showed that they, too, are betting on VanVleet when the team announced it had signed the point guard to a multi-year contract.
“We all know Fred’s personal motto is ‘Bet on Yourself.’ We know that Fred is no gamble – he’s hardworking, dedicated, and smart, and has been fantastic for us,” Raptors President Masai Ujiri said. “We’re thrilled he’ll be a big part of the Toronto Raptors for seasons to come.”
The decision to return to Toronto was an easy one for VanVleet.
