I mean the guy gets $40 million, and it’s not like he’s doing exceptionally well. He’s putting up 16-4-9, while teammate Sengun (makes $3.5 million) puts up 21-9-6; also keep in mind Vanvleet plays 37 minutes compared to Sengun’s 32 minutes a game. Obv I understand Sengun’s salary is so low because of his rookie contract, but I can’t wrap my head around how VanVleet makes that much money for slightly above average stats. yall agree or nah?
he’s there for his leadership, heck if ur looking at skills only yes he is overpaid.
But they had to bring in a guy that can playmake, play defence and lead a young team. For a young team, I think spending money on a quality leader like vanvleet is worth it.
