No team used any of the sixty available picks to take a chance on the 6-foot guard from Wichita State who had spent four years producing at the highest level of mid-major college basketball and who, by every evaluation standard that professional basketball uses to assess professional readiness, had demonstrated that he belonged at the next level. He signed with Toronto as a free agent. Three years later, he was an NBA champion. The 2018-19 Panini Prizm #103 Rookie RC — graded PSA 10 Gem Mint — is the perfect-grade version of the card that documents the beginning of a professional career built entirely on the foundation of proving the evaluation wrong.

VanVleet carried those qualities through Wichita State and into the NBA, and they were the qualities that allowed him to develop from an undrafted free agent into a starting guard on an NBA championship team.

Fred VanVleet was on that roster. He played 35 minutes in the clinching game. He hit shots when the Raptors needed them. He was there when the trophy was raised. The undrafted free agent from Rockford, Illinois, had his name engraved on the Larry O'Brien Trophy — one of the most satisfying outcomes in the recent history of the underdog narrative in professional basketball.
