Fred was really impressive today. For a solid 6-8 minute stretch it felt like every shot was either Fred or a pass from Fred to Poeltl. Doing Fred things like jumping out of bounds to save a ball and start a fast break, getting assists, making crazy bank shots. Played the entire 4th quarter, and in 12 minutes he was 3/4 from the field, 2/2 from the line and had 3 assists to one turnover. That's a 24/9 game if he played 3 quarters on great efficiency and it wasn't like he was hunting for shots. Call me crazy, but he is already a good back-up PG at the NBA level and the stats and eye test prove it. He plays like a veteran with real NBA moves, and if he can earn a spot with the Raptors he can earn a spot anywhere. This a team with two Olympic guards, a team that was already solid with 3 NBA level PGs with a solid 1st-round pick in the 3rd spot, and Fred is already looking like he belongs.
