Here's Ben Falk breaking down some great crunch time gap positioning by Fred.

I don't really need to say anything anymore lol. VV's play speaks for itself. If you still think he's a shitty player then you don't know what you're talking about and i question your basketball knowledge.

I'm not really sure how it's true because VV is mostly the one closing games for the Raptors and not Wright. So apparently Coach Casey agrees with me.
What's next? Casey sucks? Casey has no idea what he's doing?

Against Miami, he opted for FVV to play the first 6 minutes of the 4th and then Delon to close.
Against Brooklyn, both played almost all of the 4th and overtime, with Wright getting a breather midway through the 4th, and FVV sitting the first few minutes of OT.
Against Chicago (tied entering the 4th), Wright played all but the last minute, at which time Raptors were up 15. FVV played the first half of that quarter, and then sat until that last minute.
In the OT game against Milwaukee, FVV played all of the 4th and overtime, while Wright played just the first half of the 4th.
If you wanted to score those for Casey's trust, I'd give advantage to Wright in the Miami and Chicago games, FVV the advantage in the Milwaukee game, and a draw in the Brooklyn game. But I really don't see the point in splitting hairs to that degree. It looks to me like Casey is pretty happy trusting either of them closing close games, and is making decisions between based on matchups and game situation.

FVV has been really good. But the drop off from the all-bench unit with him vs without him wouldn't be significant if the new no-FVV bench unit was, for example, Wright-Powell-Miles-Siakam-Poeltl, instead of Wright-Brown-Powell-Siakam-Poeltl. Or better yet, if we stopped being dumb (especially in short rotation injury situations) and just staggered the stars' minutes.
