Josh Lewenberg: Lowry on VanVleet: “He’s a tough little SOB, but that’s why I love him and that’s why he’s going to be in this league a long time. He’s going to do some special things in the league because of how tough he is, mentally and physically.”
Tim Bontemps: Update: no Kawhi Leonard tonight. Fred VanVleet will play.
Josh Lewenberg: VanVleet on Lowry slump: “He’s gotta shoot more. I don’t know what he shot tonight, but it didn’t feel like enough. 5 (shots)? Nah, you’ve gotta shoot 0-for-20, that would be my only advice to him. He’s one of the best shooters in the league.”
Toronto Raptors point guard Fred VanVleet made his first career regular-season start last month and envisions himself in that role permanently. “Yeah, I’m going to be a starter, it’s just a matter of when,” VanVleet told NBA.com on Friday ahead of the Raptors’ overtime loss to the Brooklyn Nets. “Right now, my role is to come off the bench, be a backup point guard and lead the team and try to be a spark and make big plays.”
“I’d love to stay in Toronto for the rest of my career,” he said. “Obviously Kyle [Lowry] can’t play forever so hopefully, we milk him for everything he’s got and then, once he’s done we’ll see what happens. I love being in Toronto and I don’t want to leave anytime soon.”
