Chad Ford's Top 100 ranking -- No. 62: "I've always thought VanVleet had the makings of a good, dependable backup point guard in the league. But I think his lack of size and elite athletic ability really give scouts pause. It's hard to be lacking in both of those at his position." More (Insider)
Kevin Pelton's stats and scouting ranking -- No. 9: "Despite the stereotype that statistical projections hurt experienced prospects, it's VanVleet and not any of the promising freshmen who comes out best by WARP. He ranks in the top 25 percent of NBA-bound point guards in six categories: free throw rate, rebounding, assists, steals, turnover rate and avoiding fouls. Yet there's only one number that seems to matter to NBA scouts when it comes to VanVleet: his 5-foot-11 height. That's why Ford doesn't even have him being taken if everyone ahead of him were to enter the draft." More (Insider)
