Locked On Raptors - Daily Podcast On The Toronto Raptors
Sports:Basketball
In Episode 1477, Sean Woodley goes solo to kick off a series of shows looking at the most important swing skills for each member of the Toronto Raptors going into the 2023-24 NBA season, beginning with Scottie Barnes, Precious Achiuwa and Gary Trent Jr. Off the top, Sean digs into why Scottie Barnes' mid-range game simply has to bounce back after a notable dip in his second season. His perimeter defense and three-point shooting are things to work on, for sure, but without a pull-up from the mid-range, superstar status figures to be nearly impossible to reach for the Raptors' most important player going forward. Next, Sean takes a look at Precious Achiuwa's spot-up game, and why his three-and-D wing future hinge on his ability to bridge the gap between catching on the perimeter, and scoring either with a long-range bomb or a decisive, mistake-free drive to the rim -- a place where he scored with great efficiency last season. Lastly, Sean looks at Gary Trent Jr.'s individual on-ball defense, and why that part of his game will need to come a long way if he is to play himself in Toronto's long-term plans. How will he affect possessions if he's not asked to play as a gambling agent of chaos like he was under Nick Nurse. Plus, quick thoughts on Christian Koloko's finishing around the rim, and Gradey Dick's off-ball play to close out a look at the most important young players on the Raptors roster.
