Fred VanVleet, best hands in the NBA - Breaking down FVV's elite defense, steals, strips, and more

Fred VanVleet is one of the premiere defenders in the NBA, and his ability to generate steals and deflections is among the very best. In this video, I break down how his aggression, strength, timing, and basketball IQ allow him to be so disruptive. If you like my videos and want to support, check out my patreon at / toomuchhoops

It's easy to take FVV's defense for granted so I wanted to make a video that shows a lot of the little things he does to create steals and make guys uncomfortable. The most striking thing to me is the strength and aggression he plays with, constantly trying to make guys uncomfortable and disrupt their dribble. Pay attention to his feet too. Always tinkering with his advantage to gain an advantage.

It's so funny when he steals it from a big out of nowhere

I miss your breakdown videos so much! After a game, next day, the first thing I would look for is your defensive breakdown videos. I learned to see things I never thought to look for before. Now, if only the raptors can get back to playing good enough for content! They're just one rebounding big man away.

I'm so happy to have Fred on our team!

[@blahblahblahblah6007]

Yooo, FVV is a DOG! Imagine keeping intact with the ball while a big tries to brush you off, that's insane.

[@chuckg8138]

That one steal on giannis is just amazing

[@succulentratter5410]

That poke against Orlando he already had like 45 points and was still chasing Ross down like that

I have seen some highlights of Gary Trent's defense.. looks like he is also very "handsy". Kyle, Fred and Gary.. will be small ball defender lineup with a lot of body and hands!

[@Kyle-ho4lj]

the craziest thing is that FVV has a average wingspan, hands and NBA athleticism

[@dominikgomez7225]

He’s up there for best defensive guard

[@microfoneman]

Excellent details! Great video!

[@jmaioran]

underrated video

Embiids face at 6:15 after battling Fred in the paint. 😂

[@ManiGrinds]

Steady Freddy!

[@brandonkertawidjaja8366]

Imagine if he’s 6’6

[@90MVtv]

Bulls should’ve pursued to trade Zack for Fred and just found best 3ND big guard on the market to play next to Fred.

[@havz0r]

you say he's putting in great effort, but he seems to move so effortlessly :) Very efficient

[@tcwilson815]

Excellent breakdown....I think he deserved more votes to be on the NBA all defense last season he was relentless w stealing the ball and being disruptive

[@xoteyo]

he said "5 foot something" bruh he's 6'1"

[@owenhinds3231]

Imagine not being 1st team all defense...... it even a thought for it..... the disrespecting too real

[@jdotdurant]

Ok so was he in the trade proposal the Sixers made to the Raptors?

[@jassynewaz9849]

My goodness lol

[@timyen7317]

Best off ball defender?

[@TooMuchHoops]

One of the best for sure.
