A steady hand at the point guard position, VanVleet has shown he can be a coach on the floor by being the conductor of an efficient offense. He never gets sped up with the ball and doesn't get fazed by ball pressure or double teams. He keeps the offense flowing. He doesn't turn the ball over by trying to make highlight reel passes, but he takes care of the ball and has displayed great vision and feel for the game as a creator for his teammates. His best chance to score off ball screens is by pulling up for a jump shot, usually a three point attempt off the dribble. When he penetrates into the paint, he prefers to pass out rather than shoot because he isn't a great finisher inside the arc with a paltry 39.6% two point field goal percentage over his last season in Wichita. VanVleet struggles to get his shot off at the rim and can't always create space to attempt a floater before he reaches the restricted area. VanVleet was one of the best defensive point guards in college basketball, but there are some question marks about how his below average size and length will allow this part of his game to translate to the professional level. It may lead to steals, but he could get bullied by larger guards on the ball.
