Now in his sixth NBA season, Toronto Raptors point guard Fred VanVleet has never been an All-Star. That could change before long.
VanVleet is averaging 19.7 points, 5.1 rebounds and 7.1 assists for the Raptors, who face the visiting Detroit Pistons on Saturday.
The former Wichita State star leads the league in minutes played (38.6 per game) while shooting 43.5 percent from the field and 39.6 percent from 3-point range.
