Houston Rockets head coach Ime Udoka thought Fred VanVleet’s leadership benefited the group tremendously last season.
(via Behind-The-Scenes With Coach Udoka Presented by adidas | Houston Rockets):
“Fred stood out early: how vocal he was, coaching guys in timeouts before we got to the huddle. When guys are not living up to their standard or our standard, he’s very vocal about it. At times, me and him would be tag teaming the guys with the lack of effort or whatever it may be. And then he saw how hard I was going on guys, so he became the good cop halfway through the season.”
