Raptors' Fred VanVleet: Earns final roster spot

VanVleet earned a spot on the Raptors' final roster heading into the regular season, Bobby marks of USA Today Sports reports.

The undrafted rookie figured to be a long shot at making the final roster when training camp started, but a strong showing in the preseason earned him a spot. He recorded 31 points (12-19 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 5-7 FT), five assists, five rebounds and a steal across 38 minutes in his finest performance of the exhibition season against Argentinian club San Lorenzo de Almagro. VanVleet will presumably start the season as the third string point guard behind Kyle Lowry and Cory Joseph.
