Fred Vanvleet has elected president of the National Basketball Players Association

It was a good summer for Fred Vanvleet. The flagship guard veteran has achieved a new contract for two years of $ 50 million with the Houston Rockets, a team that has been uploaded and will enter the next season as a contender for the title.

Now the new president of the National Basketball Players Association (NBPA, players’ union) has also been elected.

“It is truly an honor to be elected president of the NBPA by my colleagues and I can’t wait to continue supporting the best interest of all members,” said Vanvleet. “With a profound appreciation for the complexities and challenges that the players face at all levels of their NBA travel, I am committed to approaching this role with the passion, dignity and dedication that each player deserves”.

Vanvleet takes the place of CJ McCollum, who led the NBPA through the last negotiation of the CBA with the League.

Vanvleet is the type of veteran player who is respected that it is suitable for guiding the union, a person at the level of level that can reject the League when necessary. It was not just Vanvleet who was elected, as well as the complete advice. Here are the other officers:

• Grant Williams, first vice president
• Mason Plumlee, Secretary-Station
• Jaylen Brown, vice president
• Jaren Jackson Jr, vice president
• Donovan Mitchell, vice president
• Temple of Garrett, vice president
• Karl Anthony Towns, vice president
