VanVleet has a good chance of being the Raptors' third point guard to begin the regular season due to Delon Wright's shoulder injury, The Toronto Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

VanVleet, an undrafted free agent out of Wichita State, is likely battling Brady Heslip for the bench role but has the upper hand as a more natural point guard. If he does break camp on the Raptors' roster, VanVleet would be a DNP - Coach's Decision on most nights, but Kyle Lowry's had trouble staying healthy in the past so the rookie could find himself seeing significant minutes behind Cory Joseph if Lowry breaks down. VanVleet averaged 6.2 points, 3.0 boards and 1.6 assists in 16 minutes a game for the Raptors' team in the Las Vegas Summer League in July.
