Fred VanVleet is a natural champion in the game of basketball, coming out of the City of Rockford, Illinois.
Fred VanVleet is an NBA athlete, playing in the league for six years now, adding a championship ring to his credentials.
He started his career in 2012 at the age of eighteen, where he began his career in college, attending Wichita State University. Fred had played for four years till 2016, and than entering the 2016 NBA Draft Pick Selection, unfortunately going undrafted.
He than signed a professional try-out contract with the Toronto Raptors organization, during that year, and began his career.
Having played 348 regular season games, averaging 27.6 minutes per game, accumulating 13.3 points per game. His playmaking ability regard was best matched with the fact that he worked with the likes of Bulls star Demar Derozan and his good friend point guard Kyle Lowry, throughout his career.
Fred has worked hard to be that guy in the locker room and on-court.
On-court, he has become a tremendous baller, becoming a true leader that thrives on his teammates.
His success ranged from gaining more minutes from the raptors organization as he started, to being one of the leaders on the team to take the franchise to win the championship in 2019.
His presence, on-court shifted the opposing team’s defense, and he created problems whenever the opposing team’s were trying regroup and the raptor’s team were on a run.
It is his three-point shooting ability that has earned him the praise, along with his incredible defensive skills, that has complimented the raptors’ organization really well to speak.
He worked with the coaching staff, (which is strongly accredited by the league), in the early stages of his career to become a sharp shooter from anywhere on the court.
HIs Motto: Bet on Yourself!
From being that guy, he had developed himself to work the younger players and prospects on the team that are maturing as we know it, and will add to VanVleet’s resume of players trained.
Freddy has a player option going into next year’s season
VanVleet is currently heading into possibly his final year with the Toronto Raptors’ organization, due to the reason he may not exercise his player’s option and for that reason speculating, where would he go?
Since, in the off-summer days, Freddy does in fact train with the likes of Derozan, and is from the state of Illinois, as one reiterates.
Give or take, the star would be an excellent addition to the lineup.
