Toronto Raptors guard Fred VanVleet believes that the natural order of things will soon fix the team's current player rotation dilemma.

After getting devastated by the injury bug all year, the defending champs had to bring in a surplus of talent to keep themselves competitive in the much-improved Eastern Conference.

While the hiatus allowed Raps players to recuperate from their respective injuries, Toronto now has a log jam of players all expecting to get minutes from head coach Nick Nurse's rotation.

As far as VanVleet is concerned, Nurse will figure things out soon, per Mike Ganter of the Ottawa Sun.

“Little bit of natural selection,” he said, describing the process. “You’ve got to figure it out as time goes on. It’ll be a process. I don’t expect you to see us at our best right away, August 1, but hopefully we can build to that pretty quickly, and find our rotation, and find our rhythm. Lineups shorten up quite a bit in the playoffs anyways, so that will solve a lot of that. It’s, you’ve just got to be unselfish, and you’ve got to be win-first, and we know we’ve got a pecking order, and follow that to a certain extent.”

After announcing his arrival in a big way during last year's playoffs, VanVleet has been enjoying a breakout year this season with stellar averages of 17.6 points, 3.8 rebounds, 6.6 assists, and 1.9 steals.

The 26-year-old undrafted guard has been one of the team's most reliable bucket-getters, making 40.9 percent of his field goals and 38.8 of his 3-point attempts.

Fred VanVleet is also a likely candidate for the Most Improved Player of the Year award and is expected to rake in the big bucks when he enters free agency this summer.

The Raptors (46-18) currently hold the 2nd-best record in the East and is once again one of the frontrunners to make it to the Finals. Nurse will likely cut down his rotation to 8 to 10 players come playoff time, and expect VanVleet to be a vital piece for the defending champs.
