Locked On Raptors - Daily Podcast On The Toronto Raptors
Sports:Basketball
In Episode 1523, Sean Woodley is joined by Vivek Jacob (Yahoo Sports Canada, Sportsnet) to chat about Toronto Raptors rookie Gradey Dick getting assigned to play some games with Raptors 905 in the G-League, and discuss the bigger picture work that still needs to be done to get the Raptors development pipeline back to its former glory, if it is at all possible. Off the top, Sean and Vivek chat about Gradey Dick's first couple 905 games, whether it was the right call to send him down to the G-League, and what he can stand to gain from playing for the team. Next, they chat about whether any progress has been made on repairing the pipeline between the G-League and the Raptors' big club, Eric Khoury's work as the team's head coach, and why some tempering of expectations needs to exercised by Raptors fans expecting the 905 to return to its former heights, during which they churned out and/or refined the games of all sorts of NBA talent at a time when they were one of the first teams really tapping into the G-League well. It's a different game now, and getting as lucky as they did with Pascal Siakam, Fred VanVleet and more is a pretty lofty and perhaps unrealistic goal. Lastly, they check in on the Raptors' two-way guys in Javon Freeman-Liberty, Markquis Nowell and Ron Harper Jr. and chat about whether they'll have a part to play for the big club in 2023-24.
