A lot of times I was playing off the ball (in Sacramento)," the 25-year-old said when speaking to reporters in Las Vegas. "I want to showcase my ability as a point guard."
Good teams win in the margins, and that's exactly when backup guards run the show. The Raptors' acquisition of Davion Mitchell aims to bolster their depth at point guard.
Yet long gone are those days when Lowry could take a seat for someone of VanVleet's ability. The last couple of seasons haven't even been Jose Calderon and T.J. Ford levels of point guard depth.
As the Raptors venture through this rebuild, having the security blanket of two competent floor generals will matter. Mitchell's potential can help recreate a depth pipeline.
