Locked On Raptors - Daily Podcast On The Toronto Raptors
Sports:Basketball
In Episode 1587, Sean Woodley goes solo to discuss the ways in which the Toronto Raptors new-look roster shares some commonalities with tonight's opponent, the Golden State Warriors -- and more specifically the early Steph-Klay-Draymond Warriors who took the league by storm back in 2014-15. Off the top, Sean digs into the ways in which the Raptors current roster and skillsets resemble those of the early stage dynastic Warriors, with Immanuel Quickley's shooting gravity, Gradey Dick's shooting and off-ball movement and Scottie Barnes' playmaking from the forward position somewhat mirroring the dynamic between Curry, Thompson and Green, while Jakob Poeltl and RJ Barrett in their own ways resemble what Andrew Bogut and Harrison Barnes brought to the table. Of course, the Raptors are not the Warriors, and will almost certaintly never be the Warriors, but considering where Darko Rajakovic has drawn influence from, and the players the Raptors now have, why not try to replicate them stylistically? Next, Sean dives into playtype data to show just how similarlary the Raptors and Warriors play, with a special focus on how the 2014-15 Warriors line up with how the Raptors approach transition, cutting, and pick-and-roll. Lastly, Sean examines the ways in which the Raptors will have to differentiate themselves from the Death Lineup era Warriors to account for their much less defensively talented roster, and the changing landscape of the NBA.
