Locked On Raptors - Daily Podcast On The Toronto Raptors
Sports:Basketball
WOOPS! This show was meant to go out on Friday and say in drafts all weekend. Still good stuff, though! In Episode 1526, Sean Woodley goes solo to take stock of the 9-10 Toronto Raptors as they get set to play their 20th game of the season tonight. Off the top, Sean dives into the tale of the tape on the first 19 games, which includes some unsurprising outcomes for both their offense and defense compared to preseason expectations. Of course, though, Scottie Barnes' leap is the story of the season so far, which changes the context of the team in a pretty significant way while also making this year's version of the team significantly more watchable than the 2022-23 Raptors were. Next, Sean digs into what the first quarter of the year has told us about the Barnes-Pascal Siakam-OG Anunoby trio and its viability going forward. The path of least resistance may be to move on from Pascal at the deadline, but is that really the way to optimize the talent around Barnes for the long haul? The data is telling us those three win their minutes together. Is there an avenue to assembling a more sensible roster around them while hanging on to all three big wings? Lastly, Sean answers a listener question on that very question, and outlines some of the ways in which they can assemble a roster that amplifies its three best players, and another about what the Raps' 8 or 9 man rotation would be if the Raptors were playing in an knockout round game in the In-Season Tournament.
