Fred VanVleet 2019 Player Outlook
5 years agoToronto Raptors point guard Fred Vanvleet is entering year four of his NBA career with added motivation after a historic performance in the 2019 NBA Finals. VanVleet was lights out from three-point range throughout the six games against the Warriors, stepping up as one of the main contributors on the Raptors' Championship winning team. The 25-year-old averaged 11.0 points, 4.8 assists, and 2.6 rebounds in 2018-19, but was limited to just 64 games due to a variety of lingering injuries throughout the season. VanVleet also made 28 starts in the Raptors backcourt as Kawhi Leonard and the medical staff managed his workload during the regular season, but is expected to be the focal point of the offense with Toronto's second unit this upcoming season. VanVleet is a solid draft target in the later rounds of standard leagues for his production with three-pointers made and assists totals.
