What skill asset impress you the most from my dude Fred?

• recognizing who are the best talents around him
• getting the best out of the best talents around him
• leadership
• brass balls
• clutch threes

 

Besides knowing when to step up, he’s funny, and everyone respects and listens to him, almost like an extension of the head coach on the court. Just what a young and raw talented team needs.

 

He’s built for pressure moments.

 

I think his shot selection could be better. But sometimes he takes bad* shots and they go in. So who knows, maybe it's a good part of his game.

* bad as in: early in the shotclock, contested off the dribble, etc.

But even with that, his game management is huge for us. He helps us not suffer 10-0 runs from the other team.

 

He is Sam Cassell with defense.

 

he's 100% going to be a coach when he retires. you can just tell.

 

Fred van Clutch

 

He does a lot of things well, but im really liking His feel for playing pg and ability to hit big shots.

He doesnt have to come down and dribble the air out of the ball to rack up assists. He gets into the offense quickly and is lets other initiate throughout the game while he plays off ball.

 

The anti-KPJ skill set. All of them.

 

his beard seems more firm and collected. unlike the ex beard who never showered and combed

 

KPJ is a better shooter and was clutch last season at times. You can have the rest.

 

What everyone said, and also how CP3-like he is.

 

lack of TO's

 

He's like Bob Sura with more offense.

 

the fact that he eliminated the pointless space between Van and Vleet and is just VanVleet.

Very economical.

 

Knowing when to step up and pick his spots. He's fine not touching the ball at times when other guys have it going.

But honestly everything, even though that's a lame answer. I never watched a lot of Toronto so I hadn't seen him play much outside of the random game here and there plus his outrageous finals performance when they won it all. His efficiency is really my only complaint, obviously you'd like that to be better, but whatever. If he was a 60%+ TS player then he would probably an all-star and not on this team.

 

The combination of Ime's vision for letting the pass lead to the pass plus Fred's willingness and ability to initiate the offense early is a perfect combination. Fred has a great situational awareness and always has a pulse on the game. There's things that won't show up on a stat sheet that makes FVV worth his contract to this specific Rockets team in this phase of their rebuild.

 

Keeps his food on the table and his hands to himself. A gentleman.
