EDGE Analysis

There were more minutes to go around Tuesday with OG Anunobdy (personal) sitting out, but even when the Raptors are at full strength, VanVleet projects to enjoy a consistent rotation role in his third NBA campaign. The Wichita State product was an indispensable reserve in the backcourt last season, averaging 8.6 points, 3.2 assists, 2.4 rebounds and 1.4 three-pointers in 20.0 minutes per game. After VanVleet inked a two-year, $18.11 million contract extension this summer, it wouldn't be surprise if he saw a slight uptick in playing time during the upcoming season.
