Scouting report

Backcourt analysis

At 74 overall, Fred VanVleet is a depth point guard — the player who covers minutes when injuries arrive over a 45-week calendar.

His best fit is the Floor general role, which runs the offense and sets up everyone else, with low usage of his own. His passing (83), basketball IQ (79) and speed (79) are exactly what that role asks for, and the game rates the match as “Made for it”.

For a point guard, his standout attributes are defense (68) and passing (83), in the top 31% and 33% of point guards respectively.

The trade-off is three-point (65), in the bottom 37% of point guards — surround him with floor spacing so defenses cannot sag into the paint.

Plan his minutes around matchups and blowouts rather than a fixed nightly share.

At 31 he is at or past his peak, so his value is in the seasons he is playing now.

He earns $25.0M a season with a transfer value of $36.0M — expensive for what he delivers.
