2017 NBA Manifesto
Fred VanVleet
PG, 6’0, 195lbs, 23 years old, 1 year of experience
VanVleet didn’t play much for the big league club. When he did, he took 111 shots to score 107 points, a testament to the limitations he will always have in this area at the NBA level, especially around the basket. He will also have limitations defensively due to the same size disadvantage, combined with a lack of length and athleticism. So with this in mind, if he cannot shoot over defences or slow down the bigger, quicker opponents he will go against every night, it might not matter how high his IQ is or how steady of a hand he has at the point guard position.
Player Plan: Has an unguaranteed minimum salary contract for next season, and given that he is fourth on the point guard depth chart, staying fourth on the point guard depth chart and a marginal NBA talent, there seems to be no reason to guarantee it.
