In Episode 1432, Sean Woodley offers his thoughts on the latest Marc Stein report trying the Houston Rockets to Fred VanVleet, before bringing in Derek Johnson of Locked On Jayhawks to chat all about Gradey Dick and what he brings to the table both on and off the court. Off the top, Sean discusses why the spectre of the Rockets overpaying Fred could leave the Raptors in a very tough spot — too pot committed to running it back to not run it back, and still badly in need of guard play on a roster already short on guard play. Next, Sean welcomes in Derek Johnson of Locked On Jayhawks to get the low down on what Gradey Dick brings to the table as a shooter and off-ball cutter and play connector, as well as why the context in which he played for the Jayhawks should lend itself well to playing for a team similarly light on spacing in Toronto. Plus, what kind of chance does Gradey Dick have of being a decent to above-average defender? And in which ways did his personality shine during his one season in Kansas?

Addition by subtraction if you ask me
Point guard Barnes
Fred is 30 undersized, shoots under 35% from 3 under 40 from field and cant' guard his position. But bringing him back is a good idea. You are delusional.
fred lost us at least half of those 41 games by himself, how is him coming back beneficial in any way…
OG for Portland's Shaedon Sharpe?
Everyone crying about FVV being a selfish bum,remember that he was Robin to Lowry's Batman. Who exactly has been FVV'S steady, dependable Robin the past 2 seasons? Crickets… Highly doubt anyone on the current roster can handle the lead guard position with any confidence for 82 games.
Mike Conley.. stop gap..
I think Fred’s gone
