NBA Scout: Fred VanVleet Will Give Houston a Weapon It Lacked
An anonymous scout told Sports Illustrated that VanVleet, back from a torn ACL, will fix Houston's shot creation after the team leaned on Kevin Durant too much.
An anonymous NBA scout believes Houston leaned too heavily on Kevin Durant last season, and that Fred VanVleet's return from a torn anterior cruciate ligament will fix the problem of creating shots.
The scout's comments were reported by Sports Illustrated, as carried by Sports.ru.
"Fred's return will be very important. He creates better and is a bigger threat on drives than Reed Sheppard. Maybe Fred is not better at catch-and-shoot, but he is more effective in the pick-and-roll. If Steven Adams is healthy, Houston will have several players who can set screens. VanVleet will be a weapon for them that the team did not have last season," the scout said.
