NBA as the world's top basketball league, can enter are considered to be high-quality athletes, some players just entered the league is the team's pride, such as James, there are also draft picks are very low but then in the top to become the core of the team, such as Jokic, and we want to say that the NBA lost the draft, now the Raptors' core guard VanVleet, in today's NBA official announcement, VanVleet became the 12th week best player in the East, this is the first time VanVleet career was selected as the best of the week, from losing the draft to the best of the week, VanVleet explained to all the players what the road to counterattack is.
The Raptors currently have 6 consecutive wins, they beat the Clippers, Knicks, Spurs, Jazz, Pelicans, these 6 teams have playoff teams and championship teams, VanVleet has become the team's unbeatable scoring king, assist king, 5 of the 6 games scored more than 30 points, 32 points against the Jazz, 31 points against the Clippers, 35 points against the Knicks, the least of which was against the Bucks, and 19 points, averaging 31 points, 7 assists, 5 rebounds and 2 steals per game, 47% The shooting percentage and 45% three-point shooting rate, all the free throws hit, and only 6 turnovers in 6 games show the importance of VanVleet to the Raptors.
In 16 years, VanVleet participated in the draft, but unfortunately no team was interested in him, when the height was insufficient, the projection was insufficient and the arm span was general, VanVleet was originally a proud person, he gave up the NBA development league, the summer trial raptors successfully, represented the Raptors in the summer league, in the game, VanVleet showed a good offensive feel and the overall view, the Raptors signed him with a 2-year contract, and this contract is not high, the overall guarantee contract is only $540,000, in the Raptors because of DeRozan and Lowry, Coupled with VanVleet's modest performance, the team did not cut him, only to make a third round of the lineup in the team.
In 18 years, the Raptors adjusted the team building idea, Nas head coach took office, coupled with the departure of DeRozan, the arrival of Leonard, VanVleet's fierce defense, was entrusted by Nas head coach, he followed the team all the way to the Finals, from the playoffs to the beginning of the dismal performance, the arrival of the child, gave VanVleet confidence, in the Eastern Conference Finals, VanVleet shot 7 three-pointers, many games can score at key moments, leaving a very deep impression on fans, VanVleet from an ordinary player directly by fans called " Van Jordan". Helped the Raptors win the first championship in team history.
In 2020, the Raptors re-contracted VanVleet with 4 years and 85 million, as the 2016 draft was lost, after four years of ups and downs, VanVleet finally proved its value with strength, the departure of Lowry, Gasol, Ibaka, Leonard and other players, so that the Raptors only left VanVleet and Siakam, just as many fans thought that the Raptors would sink, vanVleet broke out again, playing 34 games for the Raptors this season, Averaging 37.5 minutes per game, with 22 points, 5 rebounds, 6.7 assists and 1.7 steals, and among all the players in the NBA, VanVleet's playing time is at the top of the league's list, averaging only 2.7 turnovers per game, shooting 44.2% from the field, 41% of three points, from these data, VanVleet does not lose any All-Star players at all, under VanVleet's leadership, the Raptors have scored 20-17 this season, ranking 7th in the East, and have a good chance of entering the playoffs.
Once he was not optimistic about the lost draft, relying on his own efforts, step by step with strength to stage a counterattack, become an inspirational role model for the NBA, this is VanVleet, a low-key and tough guard player, if the East chooses an All-Star, with his strength and data, VanVleet has a great chance to enter the All-Star team.
