FVV is an elite perimeter defender and has been since day 1. He is not tall but due to his strength and instincts he can guard 2s and some 3s in addition to 1s. His offensive strengths are well known. He would be our third star and a perfect fit with Luka and KP. There would be no doubt he starts. FVV and JRich would probably be the best perimeter defensive combo in the league. You could totally play them with KP/Maxi/Luka. That would be contender lineup in my mind. If all it takes is Brunson and a first (plus salary filler) I would pull that trigger immediately.
Yeah, so you're just much higher on VanVleet than I. You might be right. If a deal goes down and he's a Maverick, I'll be excited to hope you are.
