Locked On Raptors - Daily Podcast On The Toronto Raptors

How the Toronto Raptors became interesting again during a transformative January
In Episode 1329, Sean Woodley takes a look at the month of January so far for the Toronto Raptors, and examines the changes on offense and defense that if nothing else, have made the Raptors a far more interesting team to watch since the calendar turned to 2023. Off the top, Sean dives into the huge changes the offense has undergone, in which more pick-and-roll has been featured, Scottie Barnes has been weaponized as a middle-of-the-floor play connector, and the team's shooting has regressed positive to the mean. The results? An actually passable halfcourt offense! But what does the realigmnent of roles mean for O.G. Anunoby and Gary Trent Jr. before the trade deadline? Next, Sean takes a look at the Raptors defense, which still mostly stinks, but has benefitted massively from the return of Precious Achiuwa, who is incredible on that end of the floor. Lastly, Sean runs through some listener responses to his question asking which on-court changes from the last month have been the most interesting or fun to watch, before rounding up the latest intel from Marc Stein on Anunoby, Trent, and Fred VanVleet's reported flirtation with Klutch Sports as his new agency.
