Even when the second child arrived, it still didn't help VanVleet get back into shape.
The Raptors' core guard has played a high-shot and inefficient game for the second time in a row.
In the last game against the Magic, VanVleet played 35 minutes, hit three of 12 shots, and scored just 10 points.
This game was even more outrageous, playing the Bulls for 36 minutes, shooting 1 of 11, scoring only 3 points in a single game, and feeling extremely sluggish.
If you think VanVleet is only occasionally down, you're dead wrong.
In fact, this season, he has been a spokesman for high and low efficiency, and all statistics have declined.
In 51 games, VanVleet averaged 19.4 points, 6.7 assists while shooting 39 percent from the field and 34 percent from three-point range.
His effective shooting percentage of 48.1 percent this year is 291st in the league and bottom of the team.
What is this concept? For comparison, Rockets' rookie star Jaylen Green, who stands at 48.2 percent.
Currently, the Raptors are ninth in the Eastern Conference with a 31-31 record.
Although it is in the play-off zone, the hope of getting a ticket to the playoffs is not very big.
The main thing is that VanVleet's form fluctuates so much that you never know what his next game will be.
When a team's core point guards can't stabilize, what results can they talk about?
Is the Raptors roster bad? It's not bad, Sika, Anunobi, Barnes, Trent, all of them are elite soldiers.
But VanVleet's ability to control the field is a little stronger, and the results are more than that.
A few weeks ago, reporters from the team revealed that the Raptors and VanVleet did not agree on a contract extension.
The Raptors offered a price of $114 million for 4 years and an average annual salary of $28.5 million, which is already high.
However, VanVleet was not satisfied, preferring to get a four-year, $130 million maximum salary contract.
From the overall performance, it is clear that he is not worth so much money, and it can even be said that he is a little far behind.
It is good to have self-confidence, but if you are too confident, it will turn into conceit, and you will only end up falling to the top.
Thomas Jr.'s case is already ahead, and for VanVleet, seeing himself clearly is conducive to extending his career.
Officers, how much do you think Van Jordan's abilities are worth?
