Ep 1701RJ Barrett shines & Canadian men open Olympics with win vs. Greece | Women's team struggles in blowout loss to France

In Episode 1685, Sean Woodley goes solo to react to the Canadian men's and women's national team's tournament openers against Greece and France on Saturday and Monday respectively. Off the top, Sean reacts to Toronto Raptors forward RJ Barrett's excellent 23-point outing as one of the two-best players on the floor for Canada in their 86-79 win over Giannis Antetokounmpo's Greek side on Saturday, and digs into why with every steady performance by Barrett, the belief that his second half in Toronto last year was completely legit only grows. Next, Sean runs through some of his biggest takeaways from the rest of the Canadian men's team in their win over Greece, with the wonder that is watching Shai Gilgeous-Alexander play for your team at the top of mind. Lastly, Sean digs into the women's team's 75-54 loss to France that was marred by a 23-2 second quarter in the French's favour -- a stretch that illuminated some of the biggest challenges this women's team is going to face if they want to try and overachieve and win a medal in Paris.

Ep 1700Olympic Basketball Preview! | What will it take for the Canadian men and women to medal at Paris 2024? w Oren Weisfeld

In Episode 1684, Sean Woodley is joined by Oren Weisfeld (author of an upcoming book on Canada Basketball for the ECW Press) to chat about the Canadian men's and women's national teams as they get set to push for medals in basketball at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. Off the top, Sean and Oren assess the overall level of expectation for both the men's and women's squads. The men, led by MVP candidate Shai Gilgeous-Alexander enter the Paris games as one of the favourites to medal, and with the second-best Vegas odds to win the whole thing behind the United States. The women, meanwhile, while certainly part of a group of teams that could all realistically medal in Paris, are perhaps going into these Olympics with an eye on building a foundation for 2024, when the team's talented young core will be far more ready to compete at the tip-top of the international field. Next, Sean and Oren detail the men's team's pathway through a challenging Group A featuring Giannis Antetokounmpo's Greece, the always competitive Spain, and the high-pedigree Australians. Plus, a look at the biggest internal threats to Canada's medal hopes, and what it will take for them to secure a medal in the most talented field ever assembled for a men's best-on-best tournament. Lastly, Sean and Oren take a look at Canada's road through a challenging group of their own, with France, Nigeria and Australia all standing in Canada's way as they attempt to make it out of the group stage and into the knockout rounds. Can Canada's WNBA contingent of Kia Nurse, Laeticia Amihere, Aaliyah Edwards and Bridget Carleton overcome arriving late to the team and push Canada further than the Vegas prognosticators currently predict them to go? And can Canada's youth pop on the world's biggest stage?Join us on the Locked On Raptors Discord server! https://discord.gg/akgUYU87Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!eBay MotorsFrom brakes to exhaust kits and beyond, eBay Motors has over 122 million parts to keep your ride-or-die alive.

Ep 1699Mailbag! In the Pooper for Cooper Flagg? Best non-core 4 Raptor next season? Bigger What If: Kawhi or TMac? w/ Jamar Hinds

In Episode 1683, Sean Woodley is joined by Jamar Hinds (Raptors Republic, TSN) to answer a bunch of mailbag questions about a great many Toronto Raptors topics, including goals for the 2024-25 season, key role players on this year's squad, and an interesting either/or What If debate. Off the top, Sean and Jamar chat about whether they would rather the Raptors have another season from hell but be guaranteed Cooper Flagg at the top of next year's draft OR have a surprisingly good season and make it all the way to Game 7 of the second round of the playoffs, with Scottie Barnes and Immanuel Quickley very much looking the part of foundational pillars. Next, they tackle questions about which Raptors player outside of their core four of Barnes, Quickley, RJ Barrett and Jakob Poeltl will have the best on/off metrics next season, and where Bruce Brown might be best deployed. Lastly, they dig into a question about three-point improvement: would it be better for Scottie Barnes to take a 5% jump on catch-and-shoot threes, or for Quickley to improve by 5% on short mid-range and rim attempts? Plus, whose departure is the bigger What If in Raptors history: Kawhi Leonard's, or Tracy McGrady's?

Ep 1698Raptors Summer League Final Thoughts; Gradey's ready, Chomche intrigues & Mogbo's promise w/ Katie Heindl

In Episode 1682, Sean Woodley is joined by Katie Heindl (Basketball Feelings) to run through her notes from 10 days spent in Las Vegas covering the Toronto Raptors at Summer League. Off the top, Sean and Katie chat about the palpably good vibes around this year's Summer League squad, and Gradey Dick looking very much ready for a bigger role in Year 2 after a strong-but-abbreviated run with the summer Raps. Next, they run through Katie's impressions of the Raptors' rookies, from Jamal Shead's steadiness, to the intriguing flashes shown by Ulrich Chomche, and Jonathan Mogbo's big time promise. Lastly, they discuss Ochai Agbaji's struggles, the weirdest stuff Katie encountered during 10 days in the desert, and the news that the Raptors are going to make their preseason home in Malaga, Spain as of mid-August.

Ep 1697Sasha Vezenkov leaves money on the table to return to Europe; what should the Raptors do with the cap flexibility?

In Episode 1681, Sean Woodley goes solo to react to the news that the Toronto Raptors and forward Sasha Vezenkov have parted ways in a move that will see the former EuroLeague MVP return to Europe while leaving about $6.7 million on the table, opening up some new offseason possibilities for the Raptors if they'd like to explore them. Off the top, Sean digs into the nuts and bolts of the Vezenkov departure, why it paints the trade with the Sacramento Kings on Day 2 of the Draft even more favourably than it already looked, and the waiving of Javon Freeman-Liberty. Next, Sean digs into his number one target with the Raptors' $11-ish million left under the tax: former Grizzlies and Wizards point guard Tyus Jones, who could help stabilize the Raptors' second unit while being a nice trade chip to head into the deadline with if the Raptors were to sign him. Lastly, Sean runs through some of the candidates to bring in on a minimum contract to fill the final roster spot while preserving some salary flexibility for potential in-season trades, and why Christian Koloko, Dominick Barlow and Precious Achiuwa would be at the top of Sean's wishlist if the Raptors go that route.

Ep 1696The Good, The Bad & The Hmmmm of Toronto Raptors Summer League | GTJ leaves, Koloko on the mend? w/ Vivek Jacob

In Episode 1680, Sean Woodley is joined by Vivek Jacob (Sportsnet, Raptors in 7) to chat about their biggest overall takeaways from the Toronto Raptors' tour at NBA Summer League in Las Vegas before hitting on Gary Trent Jr. signing with the Milwaukee Bucks and former Raptors second-rounder Christian Koloko reportedly working towards being cleared by the NBA to return to the floor. Off the top, Sean and Vivek dig into their shared overall takeaway from Summer League, which is that the Raptors have young and interesting two-way prospects again, who just might be able to help build up the depth of roster talent that we saw the Raptors excelled at having during their wildly successful run from 2013 through 2020; Ja'Kobe Walter, Jamal Shead and Gradey Dick all flashed plenty of upside, with Jonathan Mogbo and Ulrich Chomche clearly both having plenty left to show off as they move into their rookie seasons as well. Next, Sean and Vivek run through The Good (DJ Carton, Ja'Kobe Walter's cutting), The Bad (Ochai Agbaji) and The Hmmmm (Ulrich Chomche's defensive upside) from the Raptors' five games in Vegas. Lastly, they chat about the end of the GTJ era in Toronto, and whether Christian Koloko would be worthy of the 15th roster spot in the even Sasha Vezenkov does not stay with the Raptors into the new season.

Ep 1693How would Team Canada's roster stack up in the NBA? | Does Jamal Shead have some Kyle Lowry in him?Mailbag! w/ Katie Heindl

In Episode 1677, Sean Woodley is joined by Katie Heindl for a Toronto Raptors mailbag featuring questions about the Canadian men's national team, Chris Boucher's place within the Raptors and new second-round draft pick Jamal Shead. The bulk of the show is spent entertaining an excellent question from one listener about how well the Raptors would stack up if you replaced their roster with the Team Canada Olympic roster. Of course, because this is Adam Silver's NBA, we first need to determine whether or not the books would be salary cap compliant. Once that's out of the way, Sean and Katie are free to debate and discuss how a roster led by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jamal Murray in the back court, with a ton of guard and wing depth and some notable front court concerns would fare in the Eastern Confernce. Is Team Canada getting home court in the playoffs? Lastly, Sean and Katie answer a couple questions about Chris Boucher and where he figures into the teams plans in the final year, and whether Jamal Shead has a shot to become Kyle Lowry 2.0.

In Episode 1678, Sean Woodley is joined by Locked On Coogs host Parker Ainsworth to talk about Toronto Raptors incoming rookie guard Jamal Shead, who's been one of the stand outs from the early going in Vegas Summer League. Off the top, Sean gets Parker to dig into the tales of Shead being an exemplary dude from his time as one of the leaders of the Houston Cougars, before they dig into what makes Shead such a special defensive player despite his 6'1 stature, what he brings to the table as a playmaker, and whether or not Shead's three-point stands a chance of improving from his 31% clip over his alst two college seasons as he enters the NBA.

Ep 1694Biggest takeaways from a 2-0 Summer League start for the Raptors

In Episode 1678, Sean Woodley reacts to the Toronto Raptors' encouraging 2-0 start at Las Vegas Summer League with quick hitters thoughts on Gradey Dick, Jamal Shead, Ja'Kobe Walter, Jonathan Mogbo, Ulrich Chomche and more! Off the top, Sean digs into Dick, who in his first game of Summer League showed all he needed to show, showing out as the best player on the floor despite some trouble from beyond the arc. Even if the ankle injury sustained in Sunday's win over Denver rules him out for the rest of Summer League, Dick is firmly in the conversation to start for the Raptors in his sophomore season. Next, Sean digs into the play of the Raptors' four picks from the 2024 NBA Draft, with some thoughts on the all-around solidness of Jamal Shead, Ja'Kobe Walter looking very much like a 19-year old, Jonathan Mogbo doing all kinds of interesting things and Ulrich Chomche's undeniably raw but tantalizing package of skills. Lastly, Sean runs through The Good (Branden Carlson, DJ Carton), The Bad (Ochai Agbaji) and The Hmmm (Javon Freeman-Liberty's status within the franchise) to round out the show.

Ep 1692Did the Toronto Raptors get any better this summer? w/ Vivek Jacob

In Episode 1676, Sean Woodley is joined by Vivek Jacob (Raptors in 7, Sportsnet) to talk about the Toronto Raptors offseason moves, whether or not the roster is improved at all, and whether the team has a shot to improve on either offense or defense in 2024-25. Off the top, they chat about the final tally of guys coming in and guys going out, why the loss of Gary Trent Jr. might make the roster look less talented in the immediate future but in the grand scheme, they upside of the roster probably leaves them in better shape than last season in which the team rolled out 30 different players. Next, Sean and Vivek discuss the offensive side of the ball, whether the sound process of last season might start leading to better results, or if the lack of high end shot making talent will still leave the Raptors toiling near the bottom six or seven in the offensive charts. Lastly, they take a look at the defense, which was completely hopeless last season, and will still be in tough in 2024-25; but will the collecting give a crap meter of a team that isn't totally checked out and mishapen lead to a finish higher than the 27th-ranked mark they posted last season?Join us on the Locked On Raptors Discord server! https://discord.gg/VzfzwZVcSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!BetterHelpThis episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

Will Davion Mitchell get the lion's share of minutes at backup point guard? And who will play the fifth-most crunch time minutes behind Scottie Barnes, Immanuel Quickley, RJ Barrett and Jakob Poeltl?

Ep 1690Goodbye GTJ, Ulrich Chomche signs a 2-way & Team Canada's 12-man Olympic roster announced

In Episode 1674, Sean Woodley goes solo to run through all kinds of news and notes about the Toronto Raptors and the Canadian men's national team, including Michael Grange's latest reporting on the Raptors' parting ways with Gary Trent Jr., second-round pick Ulrich Chomche signing a two-way deal with the Raptors, and the announcement of the Canadian men's Olympic team's 12-man roster for this summer's tournament in Paris. Off the top, Sean digs into the reporting by Grange around the Raptors decision to ultimately not offer Gary Trent Jr. a new contract to stay in Toronto, and why it will be probably end up a good decision in the long run even if they miss GTJ this coming season before talking about the Raptors signing Ulrich Chomche to a two-way contract. Next, Sean shares his initial impressions of Canada's official men's Olympic roster, sorts through how they stack up in a loaded field and absolutely gauntlet of a Group A along with Australia, Greece and Spain, and why Trey Lyles could sneakily be one of the most important players on a Canada team that is light on big men. Lastly, Sean digs into a couple listener questions about who will be the fifth starter next year, and what the ideal player archetypes around Immanuel Quickley and Scottie Barnes might be going forward.

Ep 1689Toronto Raptors make their big bet on Scottie Barnes & Immanuel Quickley | Are they really done making roster moves? w/ Louis Zatzman

In Episode 1673, Sean Woodley is joined by Louis Zatzman (Raptors Republic) to talk about the Toronto Raptors' press conference announcing the new deals for Scottie Barnes and Immanuel Quickley, why it seems like they're done making roster moves for the summer, and just how bad the Raptors want to be in 2024-25. Off the top, Sean and Louis dig into the Raptors declaration that the future starts now, and discuss how much belief they each have in the Raptors getting rewarded for their belief in their leading duo, and their different levels in belief that Quickley can be the starring lead guard the Raptors are hoping he can be. Next, they chat about the implication that the Raptors are done making moves for the summer, whether that leaves the roster too imbalanced, and the team's handling of the Bruce Brown situation. Lastly, they discuss how bad they thing the Raptors will and/or want to be next season, the value of playing competent and competitive ball vs. tanking into the upper reaches of the lottery and more.

Ep 1688Could the Lakers be a match for a Bruce Brown trade?

In Episode 1672, Sean Woodley digs into why the Toronto Raptors decision to pick up Bruce Brown's option in the interest of trading him gets a little bit worse every day they aren't able to swing a deal involving him, and whether the Los Angeles Lakers could be a team that saves the Raptors from Brown-related purgatory. Off the top, Sean digs into the ongoing quietness around Brown, and why the alternative routes the Raptors could have taken with their salary cap flexibility this summer are looking pretty interesting as Brown remains unmoved on a roster that is way too stacked with guards and undersized wings. Next, based on some reporting for Anthony Irwin of Lakers Daily indicated the Lakers have in fact checked in on Bruce Brown, Sean details the situation the Lakers find themselves in financially, who they have to trade, and why a small wrinkle in LeBron James' contract could decide whether or not they and the Raptors could possibly connect on a deal for the former NBA champion Brown. Lastly, Sean sorts through which of the Lakers moveable players would best fit in Toronto, if any would at all, between Rui Hachimura, D'Angelo Russel, Gabe Vincent and Jarred Vanderbilt.

Ep 1687Getting excited for the Toronto Raptors rookies at Summer League; will Grady Dick join them? w/ Katie Heindl

In Episode 1671, Sean Woodley is joined by Katie Heindl (Basketball Feelings) to talk about their excitement to watch Toronto Raptors rookies Ja'Kobe Walter, Jonathan Mogbo, Jamal Shead and (maybe?) at Las Vegas Summer League, and examine whether or not Gradey Dick should be joining the Raptors' recent draft picks in Vegas this month. Off the top, they chat about why this is shaping up to be a much more exciting Summer League roster for the Raptors than we've seen in recent years, and what about the games of Shead, Mogbo and Walter they're looking forward to see on display. Next, they chat about second-year Raptors Gradey Dick and why they think he should absolutely be with the Summer League squad before taking a look at whether or not Dick will be a starter for the Raptors come October. Lastly, they take a temperature on the ongoing silence about Bruce Brown, chat about Caleb Martin as a potential free agent or sign-and-trade target and more!

Ep 1686How many shooting guards will the Toronto Raptors roster? | Fueling up the Jonathan Mogbo hype train w/ Es Baraheni

In Episode 1670, Sean Woodley and Es Baraheni (Forbes, CEBL, Raptors Republic) break down the Toronto Raptors roster as it's currently constructed and work to determine just how many shooting guards the team currently has on its roster. We know guys like Scottie Barnes, Jakob Poeltl, Kelly Olynyk, Jonathan Mogbo and Chris Boucher aren't shooting guards, but is there a case that literally everyone else on the roster is -- or at least has some shooting guard tendencies? There sure is! They also dig into their rampant optimism about Jonathan Mogbo's upside and potential fit with the Raptors as early as his rookie season in 2024-24, and chat about whether or not a roster balancing trade is still on the horizon for the Raptors as Bruce Brown continues to remain on the team.

Ep 1685Toronto Raptors quiet to open free agency; what does it all mean? w/ Vivek Jacob

In Episode 1669, Sean Woodley is joined by Vivek Jacob (Raptors in 7, Sports) to break down the Toronto Raptors very quiet start to NBA free agency and try to parse what it all means as it pertains to guys like Gary Trent Jr. and Bruce Brown as well as the Raptors' intentions going into the new season. Off the top, Sean and Vivek dig into the lack of moves out of the gate as the free agent pool as quickly dried up, why Gary Trent Jr. is almost surely not coming back at this point, and the Toronto Raptors having roster comprised of 60% shooting guards. Next, Sean and Vivek get into Bruce Brown's status as a trade chip and whether we will see the Raptors in fact full off a move involving Brown at any point this summer. Cam Johnson? DeAndre Hunter? Andrew Wiggins? Anyone???? Lastly, they take a look at a couple of potential big man targets in trade and free agency, and where they think the Raptors currently sit within the Eastern Conference hierarchy.

Ep 1684Raptors ink Immanuel Quickley to 5-year/ $175-million deal, and it rocks | Decision time on Brown & GTJ is here w/ Jamar Hinds

In Episode 1668, Sean Woodley is joined by Jamar Hinds (Raptors Republic) to react to the Toronto Raptors signing Immanuel Quickley to a new 5-year, $175 million contract to solidify the Quickley-Scottie Barnes tandem long into the future before digging into the looming decisions on the futures of Bruce Brown and Gary Trent Jr. Off the top, Sean and Jamar detail why the Quickley deal is a great one for the Raptors even with the sticker shock of a $35 million AAV. The deal is almost guaranteed to age superbly well in a league where the cap is set to rise 10% every year for the foreseeable future. The Raptors don't have major player contract uncertainty hanging over them anymore, it's a beautiful thing! Next, Sean and Jamar lay out the options the Raptors have when it comes to Bruce Brown, whose contract guarantee date is Saturday, and Gary Trent Jr., who looks set to his unrestricted free agency without a new deal from Toronto. Lastly, they discuss some of the potential options for the Raptors if they opt to open up cap space by declining Brown and renouncing Trent's Bird Rights. Patrick Williams feels like the move if there is one to be made, unless of course Jonathon Mogbo is the wing of the future in Toronto...

Ep 1683Raptors draft Jonathan Mogbo, Jamal Shead & Ulrich Chomche, pull off trade with Kings on Day 2 of NBA Draft | Ja'Kobe Walter 101 w/ Cam Stuart

In Episode 1667, Sean Woodley goes solo to talk about the Toronto Raptors getting back to their roots on Day 2 of the NBA Draft with the selections of Jonathan Mogbo, Jamal Shead and Ulrich Chomche on top of a deal with the Sacramento Kings that landed them the 45th-pick (Shead), Davion Mitchell, Sasha Vezenkov and a 2025 Blazers second-round pick. Off the top, Sean chats about the Raptors three-second rounders: Mogbo, the super-athletic, shooting-averse combo forward/big who just so happens to be childhood friends with Scottie Barnes, Shead, the 6'0 point guard from Houston who was the Big-12 Player of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year and is a three-point shot away from probably being a long-time backup point guard in the NBA, and Chomche, the youngest prospect in the draft, who stands 6'10 with a 7'4 wingspan and seems to be many years way from making a true impact in the NBA. This was the second round where the Raptors got back up to their old tricks when it comes to the types of dudes they historically love to draft. Next, Sean breaks down the deal with the Kings, discusses where Mitchell anad Vezenkov might fit in -- if at all -- and discuss where it leaves the Raptors' roster heading into the free agency window. Lastly, Sean is joined by Cam Stuart of Locked On Baylor to break down the strengths, areas of growth and overall upside of Raptors first-round pick Ja'Kobe Walter.

Ep 1682NBA Draft Night 1 Quick Reaction | Toronto Raptors draft Baylor's Ja'Kobe Walter 19th-overall; on the clock for Round 2

In Episode 1666, Sean Woodley goes solo for a quick reaction podcast to break down the Toronto Raptors selecting Ja'Kobe Walter out of Baylor with the 19th-overall pick in the NBA Draft on Wednesday night before taking a look at who's left on the board for the Raptors with the 31st pick to open up the second round tomorrow. Off the top, Sean reacts to the selection of Walter, who was maybe not on the top of Sean's personal big board when the Raptors were on the clock, but clearly fits into the team's vision as a potential 3-and-D guard who can handle a few positions on the perimeter while bombing threes off of movement. If it all works out, Walter is the kind of guy that all good teams need. Then, Sean runs through the guys he'd most like the Raptors to take a look at with the first pick of round two -- if they make the pick at all with trade offers sure to start pouring in over the next handful of hours ahead of Round 2.

In Episode 1665, Sean Woodley is joined by Richard Stayman (MavsDraft, Locked On NBA Big Board) to talk about their final thoughts on what the Toronto Raptors could look to do with the 19th pick in tonight's NBA Draft before making some bold superlative NBA Draft predictions. Off the top, Sean and Richard run through, for the last time, some of the options the Raptors could be looking at with the 19th pick, and which lottery-projected players Raptors fans should most be hoping slide to 19 on Draft night. Next, Sean and Richard run through a series of pre-draft superlative predictions, including which player in the class is most likely to: Win a scoring title? Win an MVP? Win Defensive Player of the Year? Be a 4th or 5th starter on multiple championship teams? Prove to be the most over-thought prospect in the class? Be the steal of the second round?

Ep 1679Scottie Barnes signs max extension with the Toronto Raptors, and now the hard part begins w/ Vivek Jacob

In Episode 1664, Sean Woodley is joined by Vivek Jacob (Sportsnet, Raptors in 7) to talk about the Toronto Raptors signing franchise cornerstone Scottie Barnes to a rookie max extension for 5-years and up to $270 million. Off the top, Sean and Vivek discuss their initial reactions to the deal and why this is a big win for the Raptors franchise even if it was very much predicted, before discussing whether or not they envision Barnes clearing the qualifications (All-NBA, MVP or DPOY) to earn the full super max with his play next season. Next, they get into the realistic expecations for Barnes has be becomes the highest-paid player in Raptors history, and why the career arc of Jayson Tatum might be an informative one to keep an eye on as Barnes moves into his early prime. Lastly, patience vs. boldness; should the Raptors look to bolster the core around Scottie Barnes with a big move this summer while they have cap flexibility, or should they wait it out a bit and see what next season, the 2025 Draft and another year of information about the current core bring? Sean pitches the idea of making the Anthony Edwards bed on Scottie this summer with a big swing trade for someone like Mikal Bridges of the Brooklyn Nets.

Ep 1678Sean's Final Big Board for the Toronto Raptors at 19th-overall | DaRon Holmes at 1? Where does Zach Edey fall? And more!

In Episode 1663, Sean Woodley goes solo to lay out his final Top-10 Big Board for the Toronto Raptors at the 19th-overall pick, with some thoughts on the more highly-ranked prospects who could slide on Draft night who would supercede anyone on Sean's board if they're available. Off the top, Sean lays out his criteria for evaluating prospects and where they should slot in on his board, as well as why guys like Devin Carter, Ron Holland, Rob Dillingham, Cody Williams and Nikola Topic would be no-brainer picks for the Raptors at 19 if any of them were to slide out of their projected draft range. Sean then dives into why DaRon Holmes II is his favourite potential fit with the Raptors with their first-round pick, and why Kel'el Ware, Tristan da Silva and Kyshawn George round out his Top-4. Lastly, Sean runs rapid fire through the remaining six players on his board, including the polarizing Zach Edey, the perhaps slept on Jaylon Tyson, the mercurial Isaiah Collier, and draft season darling Bub Carrington, among other potential fits who are likely to still be on the board when the Raptors are on the clock.

Ep 1677What does the Malik Monk signing mean for the Raptors & Gary Trent Jr.? | Bronny James scouting report

In Episode 1662, Sean Woodley goes solo to take a look at some of the latest news around the NBA and what it means for the Toronto Raptors, including Malik Monk signing a 4-year / $78 million deal to stay in Sacramento, the Chicago Bulls doing very dumb things, and the subterfuge minefield that is Bronny James and his draft stock. Off the top, Sean digs into the the Monk deal with the Kings, digs into whether it sets the market for shooting guards of Gary Trent Jr.'s ilk, and why it probably spells the end of any grand visions the Raptors had for their potential cap space route this summer. Next, Sean digs into the Alex Caruso for Josh Giddey trade, and ponders whethere the Bulls are stupid enough or eager-for-change enough to have Patrick Williams swiped from under the nose, with Yahoo!'s Jake Fischer naming the Raptors as a potential Williams suitor this summer, be it via offer sheet or sign-and-trade. Lastly, Sean takes a look at Bronny James and his viability as an NBA prospect after ESPN's Jonathan Givony mentioned the Raptors as one of the teams that might fancy selecting LeBron James' son at some point in next week's NBA Draft.

Ep 1676Would Pacome Dadiet, Bobi Klintman or Johnny Furphy be a worthwhile draft night swing for the Raptors?

In Episode 1661, Sean Woodley goes solo to talk about three potential Toronto Raptors wing targets in the 2024 NBA Draft who must overcome the obstacle of having extremely bust-sounding sports names in Pacome Dadiet, Bobi Klintman and Johnny Furphy. Off the top, Sean digs into Dadiet, the fast-rising 18-year-old French wing currently playing for Ratiopharm Ulm in Germany, who has shown some flashes of self-creation on top of solid three-point shooting and sound off-ball play, but are the playmaking and defensive tools there to make him worth a swing as high as 19th-overall? Next, Sean talks about Cairns Taipans forward Bobi Klintman, who has a bunch of interesting tools, but do they come together to make Klintman into an interesting enough prospect for the Raptors to gamble on? And lastly, Sean talks about 6'9 sharp-shooting Kansas wing Johnny Furphy, whose game overlaps with last year's first-rounder Gradey Dick quite a bit, although Furphy brings an above-the-rim element and defensive upside that Dick will probably never match. But are those differences enough to make him a good fit in the Raptors' long term plans?

Ep 1675The NBA Finals are over;are Barnes, Quickley and Trent Jr. contracts on the way? Plus, the importance of Jakob Poeltl w/ Vivek Jacob

In Episode 1660, Sean Woodley is reunited at long last with Vivek Jacob (Sportsnet, Raptors in 7) to chat about the NBA season coming to an end, opening up the possibility that Scottie Barnes, Immanuel Quickley and Gary Trent Jr. could now all sign new deals with the Raptors before the free agency window opens on June 30th before chatting about Jakob Poeltl's place within the Toronto Raptors and what they'd like to see him refine in his game this summer. Off the top, Sean and Vivek discuss who of IQ, Barnes and Trent they expect the Raptors to sign before free agency begins in earnest, why it's most likely that Quickley's deal will come after the free agency window opens, and their expected terms for Quickley and Trent's new deals, whether with the Raptors or not. Next, Sean and Vivek pivot to discuss Jakob Poeltl, his importance to the Toronto Raptors, and why it makes very little sense for the Raptors to trade him for futures this summer, even if the goal next year is to be bad. Lastly, they chat about what if anything Jak can do to refine his game and tailor to it succeeding with his current cast of teammates going into next season.

Ep 1674Which bigs in the 2024 Draft Class would fit best on the Toronto Raptors? w/ Keandre Ashley of Hoop Intellect

In Episode 1659, Sean Woodley is joined by Keandre Ashley (Hoop Intellect) to talk about the big men who should be available in the Toronto Raptors range in the upcoming 2024 NBA Draft. Off the top, Sean and Keandre chat about the fun of evaluating such a strange draft class without a true consensus number one guy and a flat, deep talent pool before talking about Ron Holland being Keandre's guy in this draft. Next, Sean and Keandre dig into the classic bigs in the Raptors range, including the polarizing Canadian Zach Edey, super-athletic Baylor big man Yves Missi, and the potentially stretchy Kel'el Ware -- the latter of whom is Keandre's favourite guy for the Raptors among this group at 19. Lastly, Sean and Keandre run through bigs with a little 4/5 flexibility, including Kyle Filipowski, Daron Holmes II and Tyler Smith. Plus, a couple of non-big prospects who Keandre would like to see in Toronto.

Ep 1673Fake Trade Friday! Six realistic and not-so-realistic potential Toronto Raptors trades w/ Zulfi Sheikh

In Episode 1658, Sean Woodley is joined by Zulfi Sheikh (Raptors Republic, CEBL, Sportsnet) to run through six fake Toronto Raptors fake trade ideas that run the range from super realistic to absolute pipe dream. Off the top, Zulfi pitches a trade between the Raptors and Chicago Bulls involving Bruce Brown, Lonzo Ball and an exchange of draft picks, while Sean also has a ho-hum Bruce Brown deal that sends him to Atlanta for a flawed wing who addresses a positional need for Toronto. Next, Zulfi engineers a deal between the Raptors and Oklahoma City Thunder involving Jakob Poeltl that makes Sean's blood boil, while Sean puts together what is being described as the Fake Trade of the Summer -- a three-teamer between the Raptors, Brooklyn Nets and Houston Rockets that lands another Canadian on the Raptors. Lastly, Zulfi pitches Sean on a supreme buy low on a member of Scottie Barnes' 2021 Draft class, while Sean puts together a wild three-teamer that lands Naz Reid in Toronto.

Ep 1672Is Gradey Dick a part of the Toronto Raptors core? w/ Katie Heindl

In Episode 1657, Sean Woodley is joined by Katie Heindl (Believer Mag, Basketball Feelings) to talk about Toronto Raptors soon-to-be-sophomore Gradey Dick and where he fits into the long term plans of the franchise. Off the top, they discuss whether or not after one season they view Dick to be part of the Raptors' core going forward, or if there is still some information that needs to be gathered on Dick's long-term fit alongside Scottie Barnes, RJ Barrett and Immanueul Quickley. Next, Sean and Katie discuss whether the existence of Dick on the roster should inform any of their offseason decision-making, including their looming decision on whether or not to retain Gary Trent Jr. Lastly, Sean and Katie discuss the areas in which they think Dick needs to improve upon the most this summer heading into his second year.

In Episode 1556, Sean Woodley goes solo to field even more of your questions about the Toronto Raptors and the 2024 NBA Draft, with focuses on the guard crop in this class, the possibility of trading up and much more! Off the top, Sean fields questions about whether USC guard Isaiah Collier would be a fit with the Raptors if he's still on the board at 19, which other players are candidates to slide down the draft order, and whether the Raptors can realistically address their backup point guard situation in this year's draft. Next, Sean digs into some questions about whether the Raptors should look at trading up using their two first rounders to climb up the order, and the very polarizing Virginia wing prospect Ryan Dunn. Lastly, Sean answers questions about which player the Raptors would be most likely to jump up the draft board to select in the event of a trade, the msot Bruno Caboclo-ish prospects in the class and more!

Ep 167012 Burning NBA Draft Questions | Highest upside player archetypes, Bronny James & the Toronto Raptors controlling Day 2

In Episode 1655, Sean Woodley goes solo to dig through a mountain of listener questions about the Toronto Raptors and the 2024 NBA Draft. Off the top, Sean fields questions about which type of player really hitting for the Raptors in this draft would have the biggest positive effect on the franchise going forward, Sean's least-favourite prospects in the Raptors' range of the draft, and whether the Raptors should select G-League Ignite wing Ron Holland in the event he slides to 19 on draft night. Next, Sean sorts through questions on the highest upside players available at pick 19 and/or 31, whether drafting Bronny James would be worth it as a marketing ploy or for the off chance LeBron James brings his talents to Toronto, Zach Edey's fit or lack thereof in Toronto, worst-case Draft Night scenarios, and whether the Raptors could consider dangling the 19th pick in order to land a more ready made player. Lastly, Sean handles a trio of questions about the draft moving to a two-day format, what it means for the Raptors who hold the first pick on Day 2, and whether they could look to trade back from 31 for more shots in the second round.

Ep 1669He's huge, he's Canadian, but is Zach Edey someone the Toronto Raptors should consider drafting?

In Episode 1654, Sean Woodley goes solo to talk about Canadian big man prospect and two-time National Player of the Year at Purdue Zach Edey and whether or not his polarizing game could be a fit with the Raptors -- or in the modern NBA in general. Off the top, Sean digs into the reasons why Edey might be a good pro, from his dexterous interiou touch to his incredible rebounding ability and his propensity for setting bone-crunching screens. Next, Sean examines the potential drawbacks to Edey's game and potential fit in Toronto, from his lack of a credible three-point shot, to his dependence on playing as a dropback, rim-protecting big man and the challenges with scheme versatility Edey might present to any team that drafts him. Plus, does he have the playmaking chops to handle the double teams that NBA teams are sure to send his way when he catches in in the post? Lastly, Sean assesses whether the Raptors would be justified in selecting Edey with the 19th-overall pick, how their usage of Jakob Poeltl could change to adapt to the arrival of Edey, and why ultimately there are other big men prospects who should be available at 19 who better address the Raptors' long term needs, as fun as an Edey success story in Toronto would be to watch unfold.

Ep 1668Reasons for optimism, Immanuel Quickley & RJ Barrett's upside & more Raptors offseason talk w/ Will Lou

In Episode 1653, Sean Woodley is joined by old pal William Lou (Hello and Welcome) to talk about the Toronto Raptors' offseason, the upside of Immanuel Quickley and RJ Barrett, hopes for the offseason, and whether it's justifiable to feel optimistic about where things are headed for the Raptors in the coming years. Off the top, Sean and Will get into the relief they feel now that the mess of 2023-24 is behind them, and reasons for optimism going into 2024-25. Next, they chat about Immanuel Quickley, why Sean is probably more bullish on him than Will, and what's keeping him from jumping into the East's upper crust of point guards before discussing Will's belief in RJ Barrett and Sean's slight bearishness in comparison. Lastly, Sean and Will chat about their hopes for this offseason, the types of players the team should be targeting to fill the gaps in their current rotation, and much more!

Ep 1667Toronto Raptors Would You Rather! | Dead last or Play-in next year; quiet summer or big FA splash & more w/ Jamar Hinds

In Episode 1652, Sean Woodley is joined by Jamar Hinds (Raptors Republic) to play a round of Toronto Raptors-themed Would You Rather, with conundrums about the Raptors' place in the standings next season, the team's offseason wheeling and dealing, and the most detestable NBA Finals matchup in a very long time. Off the top, Sean and Jamar chat about whether they'd rather the Raptors finish dead last in the NBA next season and give themselves a 14% chance at the first overall pick OR take a step forward and finish in the Play-in range of the Eastern Conference. Next, Sean and and Jamar dig into whether they'd rather see the Raptors bring back Bruce Brown and Gary Trent Jr. while signing Caleb Martin with the mid-level exception OR see them renounce Brown and Trent and use their cap space for one single high-priced free agent signing. Lastly, Sean and Jamar debate whether they'd ratehr the Celtics win the NBA Finals and guarantee the Raptors a Finals appearance by 2030, OR have the Celtics lose the finals and give the Raptors only a 20% chance at a Finals by 2030, which is a roller coaster of a segment.

Ep 1666Bruce Brown & Gary Trent Jr. Temperature Check | Will both guards be on the team this coming season?

In Episode 1651, Sean Woodley goes solo to take a temperature check on where the Toronto Raptors intend to go with Bruce Brown Jr. and Gary Trent Jr. as Brown's 2024-25 option decision looms, and Trent gets closer to unrestricted free agency. Off the top, Sean resets the stage and takes stock of the latest reporting on Brown and Trent, and digs into why it seems more likely than not that the Raptors will forego having cap space and pick up Bruce Brown's option with the intent to trade him at some point, while also bringing Trent back on a new deal to stay in Toronto. Next, Sean runs through why the weak free agent class might make this decision for the Raptors, and some of the less than stellar options that make the status quo the preferred route. Lastly, Sean tries to identify teams with the matching contracts, draft picks and positional need that could see them enter their names into the Brown sweepstakes, if there even is one.

Ep 1665The Raptors should be looking at a wing upgrade, but is Kyle Kuzma the right fit? | More Raptors potential Raptors wing targets

In Episode 1650, Sean Woodley discusses whether Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma would make sense for the Toronto Raptors as a trade target following a report from Brett Siegel of Clutchpoints that the Raptors are a team to watch when it comes to the former NBA champion. Off the top, Sean details why despite there being some arguments in favour of pursuing Kuzma in the financial sense, the on-court fit of Kuzma with this Raptors core just wouldn't cut it. Next, Sean fires back up Wing Madness and continues to pour over potential wings the Raptors could target via trade or in free agency, with quick thoughts on Dillon Brooks, Isaac Okoro, Patrick Williams, Tari Eason and Jonathan Isaac.

Ep 1664What kind of guard should the Raptors target if they take one at 19? | Jared McCain, Bub Carrington & Tyler Kolek

In Episode 1649, Sean Woodley goes solo to talk about the potential of the Toronto Raptors drafting a guard with their first pick in the 2024 NBA Draft later this month, and digs into the games of Duke's Jared McCain, Pitt's Bub Carrington and Marquette's Tyler Kolek. Off the top, Sean outlines the two boxes any guard draftee needs to check for the Raptors: high upside, and a good theoretical fit next to Immanueul Quickley long-term. Then, Sean details the game of the sharpshooting McCain, who is probably going to be an excellent shooter in the NBA -- but does he do enough else on offense to make him a viable long-term fit for the Raptors? Next, Sean talks about Carlton "Bub" Carrington, who at 6'5 with a very interesting pull-up game could have the kind of size and upside that makes him worth a swing at 19, even though the Raptors' more dire positional needs lie in the front court and on the wings. Lastly, Sean talks about Tyler Kolek, who while and older prospect, figures to have a pretty high floor as a long-term NBA backup thanks to his blend of rim pressure and dead-eye three-point shooting that would theoretically be a nice complement to Scottie Barnes in second units. But would he be more of a fit for the Raptors' needs at 31 than at 19?

Ep 1663Michael Porter Jr., Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson & many more rapid fire Toronto Raptors wing targets w/ Jamar Hinds

In Episode 1648, Sean Woodley is joined by Jamar Hinds (Raptors Republic) to play another round of Wing Madness, as they pull names of potential Toronto Raptors wing targets this summer and discuss their fit and viability either in trade or free agency. Off the top, Sean and Jamar chat about Michael Porter Jr. of the Denver Nuggets and why his contractual status makes him probably too much of a risk for the Raptors to take at this point in time, before digging into Alex Caruso, who would be an incredible fit, but do the Raptors have the juice to trade for him? Next, they rattle through John Collins, who is decidely not a wing, and Mikal Bridges, who is maybe the perfect wing for the Raptors to go and offer all of their stuff in order to pair him with Scottie Barnes. Lastly, Sean and Jamar rip through quick takes on Naji Marshall of the New Orleans Pelicans, who could certainly be had in free agency, Tobias Harris, who is a no go, and Cam Johnson, who could be a perfectly cromulent stop gap.

Ep 1662Why the Toronto Raptors picking in the sweetspot of the 2024 NBA Draft w/ Maxwell Baumbach of No Ceilings

In Episode 1647, Sean Woodley is joined by NBA prospect writer and scout Maxwell Baumbach of No Ceilings to chat about why the Toronto Raptors are picking in great spots in this year's NBA Draft considering the strengths and weaknesses of the class, some potential fits for the Raptors at 19th-overall, and to run through some of Sean's most firmly held opinions on this year's draft class and determine whether they're good or insane. Off the top, Sean and Maxwell chat about why by holding picks 19 and 31 in this unorthodox draft class, the Raptors are actually in a very enviable position. Plus, they examine the potential value of having the first pick of the second day of the draft at number 31 and why they can more or less "control the board" for the second round. Next, Maxwell details why he thinks Colorado wing Tristan da Silva, skilled Duke big man Kyle Filipowski, and Miami wing Kyshawn George could all be very nice withs the Raptors with the 19th pick. Lastly, Sean throws some of his most firmly held takes about this year's class Maxwell's well for them to either get a thumbs up or a thumbs down, with discussion of Virginia's defensive ace Ryan Dunn, Sean's new favourite dude in the draft DaRon Holmes II, and California guard/forward Jaylon Tyson. Plus, some parting shots about other sleeper prospects in this draft, including French wing Pacome Dadiet.

Ep 1661Rapid Fire Wing Targets! Andrew Wiggins, Caleb Martin, OG Anunoby, De'Andre Hunter, Moses Moody & more potential Raptors wing targets

In Episode 1646, Sean Woodley goes solo to pull some names of potential Toronto Raptors wings targets out a bucket and offer quick 3-minute takes on whether or not they check the boxes the Raptors should be looking to check as they scour the league for upgrades on the wing this summer. Off the top, Sean kicks things off with an impassioned plea to just stop it with the Andrew Wiggins talk, and a lukewarm breakdown of Caleb Martin, who might be one of the most likely targets for the Raptors in unrestricted free agency. Next, Sean digs into a pair of very unrealistic offseason targets in Paul George and, yes, OG Anunoby, before discussing Moses Moody's appeal as a potentially undervalued young piece on the Warriors who they might be able to swing a deal for before Golden State needs to contemplate a contract extension. Lastly, Sean digs into Keldon Johnson, who is not very wingy at all, and doesn't really fit the bill as well as Royce O'Neale, who is probably contender-bound, and De'Andre Hunter, who could be a fine but uninspiring target with the Bruce Brown contract.

Ep 1660How the Toronto Raptors should operate in an Eastern Conference seemingly owned by the Boston Celtics | Mailbag!

In Episode 1645, Sean Woodley goes solo to field listener questions about how the Toronto Raptors should operate in an Eastern Conference owned by the Boston Celtics, but with plenty of uncertainty after that, as well as some questions about the NBA Draft, free agency, and some wild Raptors-related hypotheticals. Off thet top, Sean digs into the idea of the East being at once dominated by the Celtics, and yet seemingly wide open behind them, and whether or not that reality should affect the way the Raptors approach their building plan this summer and beyond. Next, Sean discusses his feelings on where the Raptors are selecting in this widely derided Draft, and some under-the-radar free agents who could make sense for the Raptors in a summer where free agency is probably not going to be their saviour. Lastly, Sean tangles with some wildly hypothetical Raptors questions about which non-contenders Scottie Barnes would turn into no-doubt title contenders, where a Canadian expansion franchise would most likely land, and what would have happened in Kawhi Leonard didn't hit the shot.

Ep 1659Should the Raptors target a stretch big at 19? | Kel'el Ware, Kyle Filipowski & DaRon Holmes II Scouting Reports

In Episode 1644, Sean Woodley goes solo to talk about three potential stretch big man options for the Toronto Raptors, specifically when it comes to the 19th-overall pick in the upcoming NBA Draft: Indiana's Kel'el Ware, Duke's Kyle Filipowski and Dayton's DaRon Holmes II. Off the top, Sean digs into Ware, whose blend of size, athleticism, and rim protection make him an intriguing potential piece in the modern NBA -- especially if his three-point shooting is legit, and why despite some concerns about his defensive versatility and motor, he very well could be worth the risk at 19 as one of the best potential fits next to Scottie Barnes and Immanuel Quickley of any big in this draft. Next, Sean digs into Filipowski, whose polished offensive game is super interesting, especially if you view Filipowski as a jumbo playmaking four in the modern NBA. But is the fit right with the Raptors? Lastly, Sean has maybe a new favourite dude in this year's draft, and it's DaRon Holmes, the 6'9 big man out of Dayton who played largely as a dropping, rim protecting center for Dayton, but seems to have the speed, length and defensive chops to be more of a two-way wing in the NBA -- which would be pretty rad!

Ep 1658Which NBA Draft prospects have the best chance at a Pascal Siakam-like development arc? | Jonathon Mogbo, Isaiah Crawford, Ulrich Chomche

In Episode 1643, Sean Woodley goes solo to chat about some of the prospects in this upcoming NBA Draft who stand the best chance of experiencing a similar player development arc to the one Pascal Siakam went on during his time with the Toronto Raptors. Off the top, Sean digs into why finding a true Siakam clone is next to impossible considering the once-in-a-generation nature of Siakam's growth curve, and the philosophy that could behind the Raptors using one or both of their picks in this draft on high upside swings. Next, Sean digs into the fascinating Jonathan Mogbo, a 6'8 front court player with immense defensive and rebounding upside, a little bit of playmaking, strong interior scoring, and no three-point shooting to speak of whatsoever. Could Mogbo, the childhood AAU teammate of Scottie Barnes be in the plans for the Raptors? Lastly, Sean lays out the case for Lousiana Tech wing Isaiah Crawford and why he probably projects as a high-end role player with a smidge of creation upside that could see him become something more than that, before a look at this year's mystery prospect in Cameroonian big man Ulrich Chomche, who is super raw with very little game tape on record, but figures to be an ideal modern big man on the defensive end.

Ep 1656What about the NBA's conference finalists should the Toronto Raptors be looking to replicate?

In Episode 1641, Sean Woodley is joined by Katie Heindl to chat about the NBA's Conference Finals and what shared DNA the Minnesota Timberwolves, Dallas Mavericks, Boston Celtics and Indiana Pacers share that the Toronto Raptors should be trying to replicate as they embark upon their own attempt to climb up the standings into Conference Finals contender status. Off the top, Sean and Katie chat about how these playoffs have proven with little doubt that we're very much in the height of the NBA's parity era, and how that should inform the Raptors' build going forward. Next, they get into the importance of learning in high leverage moments and the reps it can take to bring team to a point where they're ready to win at the highest levels, as well as why strong offensive rebounding in the playoffs feels like a great equalizer. Lastly, they run through some rapid fire thoughts on the need for positional depth, the value of mid-range assassins, and much more!

Ep 1655What does Immanuel Quickley need to improve upon as the Raptors get said to give him the bag w/ Vivek Jacob

In Episode 1640, Sean Woodley is joined by Vivek Jacob (Raptors in 7, Sportsnet) to chat about Toronto Raptors guard Immanuel Quickley, his restricted free agency, and the things he needs to improve upon this summer in order to live up to the ample bag he is about to receive. Off the top, Sean and Vivek chat about Quickley's impending new contract, what he might earn on an annual basis, and why there probably shouldn't be much worry about losing him in restricted free agency. Next, they chat about Quickley's need to improve as a point of attack defender, and the need for him to rediscover the elite floater he flashed as a member of the Knicks. Lastly, they chat about Quickley needing to get to the rim more frequently, and knock down his catch-and-shoot threes at a higher clip -- two things that should be aided by playing more games alongside Jakob Poeltl.Join us over on the Locked On Raptors Discord! https://discord.gg/wYRbD7WrSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Yahoo FinanceFor comprehensive financial news and analysis, visit the brand behind every great investor, YahooFinance.com.LinkedInLinkedIn Jobs helps you find the qualified candidates you want to talk to, faster.
