Locked On Raptors - Daily Podcast On The Toronto Raptors
Sports:Basketball
In Episode 1580, Sean Woodley is joined by Vivek Jacob (Sportsnet, Raptors in 7) to break down their hopes and dreams for the Toronto Raptors down the stretch of the season. Off the top, they discuss what they'd like to see from the Raptors as it pertains to their philosophy surrounding their Top-6 protected pick owed to the San Antonio Spurs. Should the Raptors make every effort to tank to a place where they're guaranteed to hang onto the pick and draft in the Top-6, or with the lottery odds and standings stacked against them, should they make every effort to play out the season competitively, perhaps even climb the standings by a spot or two, and attempt to convey the pick and clean the slate going forward. Next, Vivek pitches Sean on why he'd like to see a platoon at center between Jakob Poeltl and Kelly Olynyk, with both big men working in a time share and getting starts dependent on matchups. Lastly, Sean makes a plea for the Raptors to find an identity on defense over the final 27 games, Vivek advocates for more Chris Boucher in the rotation, and Sean wants to see if one of Ochai Agbaji, Jordan Nwora, Jontay Porter or Javon Freeman-Liberty can stake a claim to a longer term rotation gig during the season's closing stretch.
