Locked on Raptors

In Episode 1634, Sean Woodley is joined by Es Baraheni (Forbes, CEBL) to talk about the report from Shireen Ahmed at CBC that the WNBA will be expanding to Toronto in time for the 2026 season before revisiting the great Keep vs. Convey pick regarding the Toronot Raptors' first-round pick ahead of this Sunday's all-important NBA Draft Lottery. Off the top, Sean and Es react to the news that Toronto is finally getting its WNBA expansion team and share their early thoughts on what the team name should be. Next, Sean and Es get into both sides of the great Keep vs. Convey argument that has dominated Toronto Raptors fan discourse all season long. We'll finally know on Sunday whether the Raptors owe their Top-6 protected first-rounder to the Spurs, or hang onto it if it remains in the Top-6 of the lottery, for which they currently have the sixth-best odds of winning. What would keeping or conveying for next season's plans, the team's long-term outlook, their trade flexibility, and talent accrual? We get into the arguments for and against, all the while understanding it's entirely out of the Raptors' control and in the hands of the lottery gods.  Join us on the Locked On Raptors Discord server! https://discord.gg/UgHA7RTK Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!LinkedIn LinkedIn Jobs helps you find the qualified candidates you want to talk to, faster.

In Episode 1633, Sean Woodley goes solo to assess the Toronto Raptors biggest offseason holes that need filling by ranking them in a little excercise we're calling "Masai's Hierarchy of Needs." Sean spends time talking about the Raptors' need for two-way wings, a third rotation big man to pair with Kelly Olynyk and Jakob Poeltl, and a backup point guard. He ranks those areas of need from most to least pressing, digs into potential in-house solutions the Raptors might already have on their roster, runs through the avenues to address them, be it through the NBA Draft, trades or free agency, and outlines the the pie-in-the-sky dream scenarios, realistic outcomes, and the absolute worst-case solutions the Raptors front office could come up with. Could Alex Sarr be the dream third big the Raptors if they get some lottery luck? Is the long con of the New York Knicks going to culminate in OG Anunoby's surprised return to Toronto as a free agent? And could the Raptors get silly and overpay for middling 5th starts or bench guys? Those possibilities and more are all discussed on today's show!  Join us over on the Locked On Raptors Discord server! https://discord.gg/d6ReR7rN Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!LinkedIn LinkedIn Jobs helps you find the qualified candidates you want to talk to, faster.

In Episode 1632, Sean Woodley goes solo to examine the "Hmmmmm" of the 2023-24 Toronto Raptors season, the burgeoning trends and unanswered questions we're still looking for clarity going into the 2024-25 NBA season. Off the top, Sean digs into RJ Barrett's awesome run after being traded to Toronto and whether or not his ridiculous efficiency is sustainable for the long term. The indicators suggest it just might be! Next, Sean digs into the Raptor's promising month of February and how sustainable it might be once the team is assembled in full going into next season, especially regards to the starting five that demolished opponents in its very short time together. Lastly, Sean talks about Darko Rajakovic and whether or not he's a good coach or not, something we probably won't have a full view of til next season, but there were certainly positive signs!

In Episode 1631, Sean Woodley questions about the Toronto Raptors from you, the listeners, on a great many topics including how the goings on in this year's playoffs affect the Toronto Raptors, what to expect from the Raptors this offseason, and the team's dire need for a rebrand of its logos and jersey designs. Off the top, Sean answers a question about complicated feelings regarding O.G. Anunoby and Pascal Siakam succeeding in the second round of the playoffs for the Knicks and Pacers, as well as what the league's changing of the guard on display in these playoffs could mean for the Raptors moving forward. Next, Sean responds to a question about the approach he expects Masai Ujiri to take this offseason, and why it all kind of hinges on the results of this weekend's NBA Draft Lottery. Lastly, Sean fields a pair of questions about the Raptors' need for a rebrand. He definitely doesn't have very strong opinions on this matter, not at all!  Join us on the Locked On Raptors Discord server! https://discord.gg/sqByBc2a Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!LinkedIn LinkedIn Jobs helps you find the qualified candidates you want to talk to, faster.

In Episode 1630, Sean Woodley is joined by Vivek Jacob (Raptors in 7, Sportsnet) to talk about Toronto Raptors star forward Scottie Barnes and what he needs to improve upon over the course of this off-season going into the 2024-25 NBA season. Off the top, Sean and Vivek chat about why one of the next steps toward stardom for Barnes will entail carrying lineups of which is a part in the same way the league's very best guys do through all sorts of different contexts, as well as Barnes' need to continue building upon his three-point shooting uptick this past season. Next, Sean and Vivek dig into Barnes' need to improve his lateral quickness as a perimeter defender and the positive cascading effects improved perimeter defense for Barnes could have on the team going forward, as well as Barnes' need to rediscover the shooting touch from the short mid-range that he flashed as a rookie, but as struggled with ever since. Lastly, Sean pinpoints Barnes' mastery of the pick-and-roll both as a ball-handler and roll-man as a key piece of the team's long-term outlook, while Vivek chats about Barnes' need to improve his handle to the level of a true primary offensive option.  Join us over on the Locked On Raptors Discord server! https://discord.gg/9y873xqX Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!LinkedIn LinkedIn Jobs helps you find the qualified candidates you want to talk to, faster.

In Episode 1629, Sean Woodley goes solo to examine some of the guards who might convince the Toronto Raptors to make a draft night reach, including USC's Isaiah Collier, Baylor's Ja'Kobe Walter and Providence's Devin Carter. Off the top, Sean digs into Collier's exciting blend of size and athleticism as a guard and why it may not be enough to overcome the concerns about him as an off-ball player on a team that already employs Scottie Barnes and Immanuel Quickley in key creation roles. Next, Sean discusses Ja'Kobe Walter, whose less than stellar shooting season as a freshman undercut his status as one of the best pure shooters in this draft, and why his blend of motor and defensive upside make him an intriguing potential Raptor, even if he's probably not worth a shot in the Top-6. Lastly, Sean breaks down the game of Carteer, who has a shot to be a long-term high-end backup point guard, and maybe more than that if his bizarre jump shot can hold up as well as it this in his last season at college. But is his upside high enough to spend a Top-6 pick on him? Maybe not so much.  Join us over on the Locked On Raptors Discord server! https://discord.gg/RHfbUFcu Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Monopoly GO! Get in the game and join your friends.

In Episode 1628, Sean Woodley goes solo to talk about former Toronto Raptors Pascal Siakam and OG Anunoby getting set to square off the in second round of the Eastern Conference playoffs and why their success with the Pacers and Knicks illuminates just how much the Raptors need to prioritize adding wing talent this summer before a look at Colorado's Cody Williams and Tennessee's Dalton Knecht. Off the top, Sean revisists the Siakam and Anunoby trades and looks at why their work with their new clubs underscores how important players of that archetype are in the modern NBA, with some thoughts on what to root for as Siakam and OG square off in round two. Next, Sean offers a scoutiing report on Colorado wing Cody Williams, whose stock has fluctuated a bit after a quiet finish to the season, but offers the touch, handle, size and defensive upside that could be a perfect fit within the Raptors' current built. Lastly, Sean talks about sharpshooter Dalton Knecht and why despite his high flying dunks and dead-eye shooting, his defensive concerns probably render him a Do Not Draft for the Raptors, especially in the Top-6.  Join us over on the Locked On Raptors Discord! https://discord.gg/VD5kVN6A Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Monopoly GO!

In Episode 1627, Sean Woodley goes solo to continue his look at some of the prospects to watch for Toronto Raptors heading into the NBA Draft Lottery on May 12th and the 2024 NBA Draft with a look at high-lottery guard prospects Nikola Topic (Serbia) and Kentucky teammates Rob Dillingham and Reed Sheppard. Off the top, Sean discusses what might compel the Raptors to go with a guard if they keep their first-round pick in the Top-6 despite their clear needs on the wings, and why 6'6 Serbian guard Nikola Topic would probably be the best guard for the Raptors to opt for in the event they go the guard route thanks to his blend of size and abiltiy to put pressure on the rim. Next, Sean discussing Kentucky flamethrower Rob Dillingham, who might be the most electrtifying offensive player in the class, but has defense and size concerns that could very well render him a negative player in the aggregate. Lastly, Sean looks at Dillingham's teammate Reed Sheppard, whose defensive counting stats and ridiculous three-point shooting are certaintly interesting, but undercut by fears of being a 6'3 guy with a 6'3 wingspan who struggles to shake defenders and might never be able to guard up in position.

In Episode 1626, Sean Woodley goes solo to discuss Colorado wing and potential Toronto Raptors target at 19th-overall, Tristan da Silva, declaring for the 2024 NBA Draft and why he's a particular favourite of your intrepid host before taking a look at UConn's duo of likely Top-10 picks, Stephon Castle and Donovan Clingan and their potential fits with the Toronto Raptors. Off the top, Sean digs into da Silva declaring for the draft at the last minute, why he profiles to be a no-brainer role player in the NBA for many years, and why he'd fit nicely within what the Raptors have going on  despite some uncertainty about his on-ball defensive upside. Next, Sean talks about Clingan, the gigantic center from the national champions whose offensive limitations might be enough of a reason to not select him if the Raptors happen to keep their first round pick in the Top-6. Lastly, Sean talks about Castle, whose game is absolutely intriguing, but feels like a tough fit on a Raptors team that already has his key ball handling pieces in place, and needs reliable shooting to bring their best lineups together.  Join us over on the Locked On Raptors Discord server! https://discord.gg/Y6SRwfNY Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Monopoly GO!

In Episode 1625, Sean Woodley is joined by Vivek Jacob (Sportsnet, Raptors in 7) to chat about the Toronto Raptors and how they can build themselves back into a team that's part of the NBA postseason every season. Off the top, Sean and Vivek chat about what the goal should be for any team entering into the early years of a building cycle, and why building a team that can be a no-doubt Top-6 playoff team is way more realistic than building an upper crust contender built around one of the select few championship landscape-shifting players in the NBA. Next, Sean and Vivek dig into what the formula for a Top-6 team is, how Scottie Barnes and Immanuel Quickley figure to give the Raptors' a Top-6 worthy backbone of talent, having to Top-10 on either offense or defense, and other elements that annual playoff teams share. Lastly, Sean and Vivek look at what pieces need to be added to the current mix to get the Raptors where they want to go, which additions are the most important to completing the puzzle, and much more!  Join us over on the Locked On Raptors Discord: https://discord.gg/dkh39j9x Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Monopoly GO!

In Episode 1624, Sean Woodley goes solo to chat about the Toronto Raptors' potential options on the wings in the high lottery should they keep their pick in the Top-6 of the 2024 NBA Draft, with a focus on Ron Holland, Matas Buzelis and Zaccharie Risacher. Off the top, Sean digs into Holland, the 6'8 G-League Ignite forward who is probably the highest upside and most athletic player of the trio talked about on the show, but whose fit with the Raptors' current pillars in Scottie Barnes, Immanuel Quickley and RJ Barrett might be the most dubious. Does his three-point shot have a chance to improve enough to make his fit viable? And is it in both Holland's and the Raptors' best interests if Holland lands somewhere else? Next, Sean talks about Holland's Ignite teammate Matas Buzelis, a 6'10 hybrid forward with some  very interesting defensive potential, but an offensive game that might not quite be dynamic enough to be worthy of a high draft pick, although the optimized version of him might be the best fit on the Raptors of any of the guys discussed today. Lastly, Sean chats about the 6'8 JL Bourg wing Zaccharie Risacher, who's hot and cold shooting have left some scouts unsure of his three-point output, but might stand the best chance of the three guys discussed here to be the final connective piece that really makes the BBQ trio sing.  Join us over on the Locked On Raptors Discord server! https://discord.gg/QNAeYfV5 Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Monopoly GO!

In Episode 1623, Sean Woodley and Jamar Hinds (Raptors Republic) play a round of Toronto Raptors Would You Rather with a focus on the team's potential to add free agents using cap space this summer. Off the top, Sean and Jamar discuss whether they'd rather pick up Bruce Brown's option and bring back Gary Trent Jr. at a market-value deal OR renounce them both from their cap sheet and sign Sacramento Kings sixth man Malik Monk to a 4-year / $100-million contract. Next, they get extreme with the Raptors' pursuit of wing players by discussing whether they'd rather only add wings via the draft this summer, OR only add wings via free agency? Could Caleb Martin be a fit, for example? Lastly, they discuss whether they would rather the Raptors sign a backup point guard or a third big man should they exercise their cap space option. Tyus Jones or Nic Claxton, anyone?  Join us over on the Locked On Raptors Discord server! https://discord.gg/De5pCZwN Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Monopoly GO!

In Episode 1622, Sean Woodley is joined by Katie Heindl (Basketball Feelings) to chat about the very worst elements of the Toronto Raptors' disastrous 2023-24 season to continue their three-part look at The Good, The Bad and The Hmmmm from the year that was. Off the top, Sean has a little meltdown on the heels of Pascal Siakam's masterful 37-11-6 performance against the Milwaukee Bucks and revisits the trade of Siakam to the Pacers, which was bad for a great many reasons. Next, Sean and Katie dig into the cloud of uncertainty that hung over the team for much of this season, and the many ripple effects of yet another year beginning with indecision and a lack of direction. Lastly, Sean and Katie run through some other bad elements of this season, including ill-timed injuries, poor performance from fringey wings, the handling of Chris Boucher, and a total no-show in the In-Season Tournament.  Join us over on the Locked On Raptors Discord server! https://discord.gg/Qg8JdCxV Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Monopoly GO!

In Episode 1621, Sean Woodley goes solo to talk about the Toronto Raptors getting the 19th-overall pick in this year's draft courtest the Indiana Pacers as a result of Monday's tiebreaker coinflips before talking about what the Raptors options could be if they jump up in the order on lottery night and why Alex Sarr would be the clear addition if the Raptors were to get the number one overall pick. Off the top, Sean digs into the draft gods not looking favourably upon the Raptors when it comes the first-rounder acquired in the Pascal Siakam trade, and why that isn't all that terribly a thing considering what this draft class looks like in the middle tier. Next, Sean examines what the Raptors options would be if they moved up to 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th on lottery night, and digs into why Alex Sarr is the clear pick if they're no. 1, but things get much more murky if they're 2nd or later and Sarr is off the board. Could trading back be the best option? Lastly, Sean digs into the scouting report on Perth Wildcats center Alex Sarr and why his defensive upside and fit on a Scottie Barnes team makes him an ideal option for the Raptors if they're lucky enough to win the NBA Draft Lottery.  Join us over on the Locked On Raptors Discord: https://discord.gg/cH6dBrWn Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Monopoly GO!

In Episode 1620, Sean Woodley is joined by Vivek Jacob (Sportsnet, Raptors in 7) to eat some crow and perform some mea culpas as they reflect back on the things they got the most wrong about the 2023-24 Toronto Raptors. Off the top, they chat about the Raptors' teams they've most misjudged historically, before they get into how they both erred in their predictions that the Raptors would retain Pascal Siakam before the 2024 NBA Trade Deadline. Next, they get into how Sean wildly overestimated the quality of the Raptors' defense at the start of the season with Dennis Schroder in as the lead point of attack defender, while Vivek cops to expecting an O.G. Anunoby offensive leap that never came. Lastly, they chat about Vivek's realization that he was entirely too easy to practice patience with the Raptors' front office and some of their less-inspired moves in the last couple years, while Sean admits that he was oh so very wrong to want the Raptors to trade Scottie Barnes for Damian Lillard -- although the push to flip O.G. for Dame is a pretty interesting topic for debate.  Join us over on the Locked On Raptors Discord server! https://discord.gg/2sXmqMws Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Monopoly GO!

In Episode 1619, Sean Woodley is joined by Richard Stayman (Locked On NBA Big Board) to chat about the state of the 2024 NBA Draft class, the Toronto Raptors' muddled pick situation and some potential players who could be snug fits in Toronto with the Indiana Pacers pick and/or the Detroit Pistons pick at the top of the second round. Off the top, Sean and Richard discuss whether not this draft class is as light on talent as it's been suggested in the lead-up to the Draft, why Alex Sarr is the only higher end prospect he truly believes in having substantial upside, and the notion that the best players in this draft will probably come from outside the Top-10. Next, Sean and Richard tap into the biggest debate of our time: To Keep, or Convey the Raptors' Top-6 protected pick. Of course it's entirely out of the Raptors' control, but should Raptors fans be rooting for the team to hang onto this year's pick at 6, or convey it now and make their pick in 2025 wherever it may fall? Lastly, they run through some potential fits with the Raptors in the late teens or at 31 with their other two picks in this draft, including Tristan da Silva, Isaiah Collier, Kyshawn George, Ryan Dunn, Tyon Grant-Foster, Ulrich Chomche and more!  Join us over on the Locked On Raptors Discord server! https://discord.gg/anFCzCkx Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Monopoly GO!

In Episode 1618, Sean Woodley offers some quick off-the-top thoughts about Masai Ujiri's season-ending press conference and Jontay Porter receiving a lifetime ban from the NBA for gambling before welcoming in Locked On Raptors fantasy basketball champion Josh Green to talk about his Toronto Raptors fandom. Off the top, Sean talks about why Masai Ujiri's postseason presser, while light on hard details, seems to indicate an understanding that the front office has made some mistakes in recent years, and are prepared to turn the page over. Plus, Sean offers some thoughts on Jontay Porters' lifetime ban, and why it brings to light a pretty nasty double standard for what constitutes a lifetime ban, even if Porter probably deserves the punishment he got. Next, Sean is joined by Josh Green, the champion of the Locked On Raptors listener fantasy leage, to chat about his origins as a Raptors fan living in Manchester, England, the Raptors' championship and downturn, and his ideal Raptors offseason!

In Episode 1617, Sean Woodley is joined by Katie Heindl (DIME, Basketball Feelings) to chat about some of the good things that came out of a mostly troublesome Toronto Raptors season. Off the top, they chat about Scottie Barnes' monumental leap on the court, as well as the important strides he took as a leader off the court, and why his 22 missed games at the end of the season seem to have provided him a great opportunity to grasp the full responsibility of being the number one guy on a team. Next, they discuss the transformative O.G. Anunoby for RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley and how that moved single-handedly helped accelerate the build around Scottie Barnes. Plus, thoughts on the team's incremental growth throughout the year, Darko Rajakovic looking like a good one, Garrett Temple's impact, Bruce Brown's fashion sense, and much more!  Join us over on the Locked On Raptors Discord server! https://discord.gg/mbr3F9Cg Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Monopoly GO!

In Episode 1616, Sean Woodley goes solo to run down the three biggest offseason questions facing the Toronto Raptors and their front office heading into a pivotal summer for the franchise. Off the top, Sean digs into the question of whether the Raptors will keep their pick at 6th-overall or higher after Draft Lottery night or convey it to the San Antonio Spurs if it falls 7th or later, and all of the ripple effects lotto night could have on the Raptors' subsequent offseason moves. Next, Sean chats about the question of whether or not Gary Trent Jr. and/or Bruce Brown will be back with the team and the various options the Raptors have with Trent, a pending UFA, and Brown, who has a team option that guarantees for next season on June 29th. Lastly, Sean chats about whether this summer could see the always opportunistic Raptors take a swing on a star trade should one -- specifically on the wing -- become available.  Join us over on the Locked On Raptors Discord server! https://discord.gg/VfkxGXcB  Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Monopoly GO!
