Singler and Yanick Moreira, leaving the final roster spot for VanVleet, the four-year collegian from Wichita State who went undrafted last June. The Toronto Raptors have filled out the end of their roster for now with an undrafted yet promising point guard who could very well spend as much time at Mississauga’s Hershey Center as he does the Air Canada Centre. Throwing first-year players into the cauldron of the NBA regular season right off the bat is fraught with peril and Siakam’s energetic style and Poeltl’s savvy will be tested against legitimate NBA talent in games that matter. At the other end of the roster, how long VanVleet lasts or how much he is used is uncertain. Whether the Raptors decide then to keep the six-foot VanVleet for the rest of the season is impossible to know; a fourth point guard is a luxury few NBA teams enjoy and there could be more pressing roster needs.
