Fred VanVleet could potentially wear his familiar number 23 jersey for a team other than the Toronto Raptors in 2020/21. His most recent comments shouldn’t necessarily shock anyone but could have ramifications for the Toronto Raptors.

Fred VanVleet went from an undrafted prospect in 2016 to an NBA Champion with the Toronto Raptors in just three seasons. By his fourth season, 2019/20, he was starting and on the verge of proving he can be a perennial all-star in the NBA.

The Toronto Raptors management and coaching staff deservedly should be prideful about the decision to give the former diminutive Witchita State prospect a shot at developing into the highly productive NBA guard he has become.
