Wichita State Athletics

Former Wichita State guard Fred VanVleet has signed a multi-year contract with the NBA’s Toronto Raptors, the Raptors announced Monday afternoon. Per team policy, financial details were not disclosed.

VanVleet will attend training camp with the Toronto this fall where he will compete for a spot on the team’s regular season roster. Preseason games run from Oct. 4-21, 2016.

The 6-foot point guard went undrafted in late June but was offered a spot on Toronto’s in the Las Vegas chapter of the NBA Summer League. In five games, he averaged 6.2 points in 16.0 minutes per game and impressed the team’s decision-makers with some of the same intangibles that brought him success at the collegiate level.

In an efficient stat line reminiscent of his four seasons at Wichita State, VanVleet hit 55 percent of his three-point attempts (6-of-11), banked eight assists, and tallied twice as many steals (6) as turnovers (3), while helping the Raptors to a 4-1 finish.

VanVleet joins Ron Baker — who agreed to a similar contract with the New York Knicks shortly after the draft — as former Shockers under contract heading into the 2016-17 preseason.

A year ago, ex-Shockers Cleanthony Early (New York), Toure’ Murry (Washington) and Nick Wiggins (Minnesota) earned spots on NBA preseason rosters.
