You don't know that. There are bust in the top 5 of the NBA draft every year much less with a guy who hasn't played a college game yet. How many of these can't miss 7footers coming out of high school have done nothing in the NBA even if they were drafted high? Tons.

Van Fleet already has an established career averaging 11ppg and 5apg on NBA champ at 24 years old, lots of people would take that floor of an NBA career all day everyday, and he still has a few years to improve more.

What impressed me is he started at Shooting Guard last night, or I guess you could say 6-1 Lowry did depending on how you want to allocated their roles. He was playing off the ball a lot at 5-11 or whatever he really is.

Fred can very well play himself into a Max contract this year

I'm sure there are a couple dumb GM's with cap space eating a hole in their pockets. That doesn't mean Fred deserves the max though.

Depends. If plays like he has been since the finals last year... He probably deserves it.

Do you mean in the one game he's played (which went to overtime)? Better sign Derrick Rose up for that max too since he dropped 50 last season.

Van Vleet averaged 14 ppg in the finals. Those aren't max numbers. He was 117th in the league in scoring last season and he's a liability on defense. He's not getting near the max.
