Locked On Raptors - Daily Podcast On The Toronto Raptors

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/d6ReR7rNSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!LinkedInLinkedIn 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!Join us on the Locked On Raptors Discord server! https://discord.gg/dHVpWaFuSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!LinkedInLinkedIn Jobs helps you find the qualified candidates you want to talk to, faster.

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/sqByBc2aSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!LinkedInLinkedIn 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/9y873xqXSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!LinkedInLinkedIn 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/RHfbUFcuSupport 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/VD5kVN6ASupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Monopoly GO!Get in the game and join your friends.

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/Y6SRwfNYSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Monopoly GO!Get in the game and join your friends.

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/dkh39j9xSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Monopoly GO!Get in the game and join your friends.

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/QNAeYfV5Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Monopoly GO!Get in the game and join your friends.

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/De5pCZwNSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Monopoly GO!Get in the game and join your friends.

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/Qg8JdCxVSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Monopoly GO!Get in the game and join your friends.

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/cH6dBrWnSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Monopoly GO!Get in the game and join your friends.

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/2sXmqMwsSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Monopoly GO!Get in the game and join your friends.

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/anFCzCkxSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Monopoly GO!Get in the game and join your friends. Download MONOPOLY GO! now free on The App Store or Google Play.Yahoo FinanceFor comprehensive financial news and analysis, visit the brand behind every great investor, YahooFinance.com.NissanOur friends at Nissan have a lineup of SUV's with the capabilities to take your adventure to the next level.

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!Join us on the Discord to come hang out with Josh and other Raptors sickos just like you! https://discord.gg/mbr3F9CgSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Monopoly GO!Get in the game and join your friends. Download MONOPOLY GO! now free on The App Store or Google Play.Yahoo FinanceFor comprehensive financial news and analysis, visit the brand behind every great investor, YahooFinance.com.NissanOur friends at Nissan have a lineup of SUV's with the capabilities to take your adventure to the next level.

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/mbr3F9CgSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Monopoly GO!Get in the game and join your friends. Download MONOPOLY GO! now free on The App Store or Google Play.Yahoo FinanceFor comprehensive financial news and analysis, visit the brand behind every great investor, YahooFinance.com.NissanOur friends at Nissan have a lineup of SUV's with the capabilities to take your adventure to the next level.

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!Get in the game and join your friends. Download MONOPOLY GO! now free on The App Store or Google Play. Yahoo FinanceFor comprehensive financial news and analysis, visit the brand behind every great investor, YahooFinance.com.NissanOur friends at Nissan have a lineup of SUV's with the capabilities to take your adventure to the next level.

In Episode 1615, Sean Woodley is joined by Vivek Jacob (Sportsnet, Raptors in 7) to chat about the Toronto Raptors' season coming to an end over the weekend, and their biggest takeaways from the end-of-season availabilities for Kelly Olynyk, Jakob Poeltl, Scottie Barnes, RJ Barrett, Immanuel Quickley and Gradey Dick. Off the top, they chat about the overarching takeaway from every player's comments: Darko Rajakovic is absolutely beloved by all the players in the organization, and has absolutely nailed the number one task assigned to him when he took over as he has vastly overhauled the culture. Next, Sean and Vivek discuss Scottie Barnes' comments on leadership, and remark upon how far he seems to have come as the Raptors' leading man since this time 12 months ago. Lastly, they chat about the offseason that lies ahead, turning the page from 18 months of less-than-stellar decision-making, and improved overall vibes to round out the show. Join us over on the Locked On Raptors Discord server! https://discord.gg/7UA6kFSGSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Monopoly GO!Get in the game and join your friends. Download MONOPOLY GO! now free on The App Store or Google Play. Yahoo FinanceFor comprehensive financial news and analysis, visit the brand behind every great investor, YahooFinance.com.NissanOur friends at Nissan have a lineup of SUV's with the capabilities to take your adventure to the next level.

In Episode 1614, Sean Woodley is joined by Joseph Casciaro (The Score, Pound the Rock) to revisit their preseason bold predictions about the Toronto Raptors made the day the 2023-24 season began to check in on just how right or wrong they were. Off the top, they chat about Sean's prediction that the Raptors would be the league's leading transition frequency team -- which they were! -- as well as Cash's prediction that Scottie Barnes would win Most Improved Player. Next, they dig into Sean's proclamation that if Pascal Siakam was traded, it would be to the Golden State Warriors in exchange for Chris Paul, Jonathan Kuminga and Trayce Jackson-Davis (whoops), as well as Joe picking Dennis Schroder to finish the season with more assists per game than Fred VanVleet. Lastly, Sean eats a gigantic bowl of crow after reviewing his prediction that Gradey Dick and Jalen McDaniels would be the Raptors' best on/off-driving two-man lineup, while Joe accepts his culpability for picking the Raptors to finish 3rd in the Atlantic Division. Look man, it was a tough season for everyone around the Raptors. Even the prognosticators. Join us over on the Locked On Raptors Discord server! https://discord.gg/zJNWDJpESupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Stitch FixStyle that makes you feel as good as you look—get started today at StitchFix.com/LOCKEDONNissanOur friends at Nissan have a lineup of SUV's with the capabilities to take your adventure to the next level.

In Episode 1613, Sean Woodley is joined by Jamar Hinds (Raptors Republic) to talk about the Toronto Raptors falling 106-102 to the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday night in a game that featured more exciting flashes from Immanuel Quickley and Gradey Dick, and not a whole much else worth noting from the Raptors end of things. Off the top, they chat about Quickley's 32-7-9 effort that saw him nearly power the Raptors to a win with some late-game shot making, and discuss how the version of Quickley we've seen over the last month and a half will blend with Scottie Barnes once the team is healthy again next season. Next, Sean and Jamar chat about Gradey Dick pouring in 24 points on 6/14 from three, and what might happen next season to help his overall impact metrics fall more in line with the promising eye test evaluation we've seen from Dick in his rookie season. Lastly, they run through The Good (Ochai Agbaji bodying Dennis Schroder, the overall bench vibes), The Bad (at-rim shooting, going 1-15 against the Atlantic Division) and The Hmmmm (will we see a full Raps lineup again this year?, the inability of any Raptors fringe big to hit a two this season) to round out the show. Join us over on the Locked On Raptors Discord server! https://discord.gg/gqdWWhqBSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Stitch FixStyle that makes you feel as good as you look—get started today at StitchFix.com/LOCKEDONNissanOur friends at Nissan have a lineup of SUV's with the capabilities to take your adventure to the next level.

In Episode 1612, Sean Woodley and Katie Heindl (DIME, Basketball Feelings) chat about the Toronto Raptors falling 140-123 to Pascal Siakam and the Indiana Pacers on Tuesday night in the Raptors' final home game of the season. Off the top, Sean and Katie chat about Javon Freeman-Liberty's career-high 20 points, the craft he plays with on offense, and why he remains the fringe guy getting late season run who is most likely to be a part of the big club next season. In fact, he could be the best Raptors G-League success story of the last 5 years. Next, Sean and Katie spend some time doing some Veteran Appreciation for Kelly Olynyk and Bruce Brown, who have been two of the more constant faces on the team over the tumultuous last month and a half, and both figure to be rock solid rotation players for the team next season, assuming Brown is kept around through the summer, which might just be their best course of action with him. Lastly, they run through The Good (JFL, Malik Williams' first NBA points), The Bad (Ochai Agbaji, on both ends) and The Hmmmm (the Pacers' playoff outlook, the decision to rest Immanuel Quickley in the final home game in game where a win would have helped the Raptors' secure a higher draft pick from the Pacers) to round out the show. Join us over on the Locked On Raptors Discord server! https://discord.gg/y6nRfsDfSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Stitch FixStyle that makes you feel as good as you look—get started today at StitchFix.com/LOCKEDONNissanOur friends at Nissan have a lineup of SUV's with the capabilities to take your adventure to the next level.

In Episode 1611, Sean Woodley goes solo to look back on three memorable games from a mostly dreary Toronto Raptors season that help tell the tell of what went wrong this season and what could go right once the team hits the ground running in 2024-25. Off the top, Sean digs into the Raptors' spanking of the Milwaukee Bucks on November 1st, in which the Dennis Schroder-led starting five demolished the Bucks in transition and turned in one of the few strong defensive efforts that group turned out in two-plus months playing together. Next, Sean discusses the January 7th beatdown of the Golden State Warriors on the road that featured a very early RJ Barrett "holy crap" game and plenty of flashes that the Scottie Barnes-Pascal Siakam-RJ Barreett-Immanuel Quickley-Jakob Poeltl starting lineup might have had The Juice, only for Jak's ankle injury sustained in the game to derail any possiblity of those guys getting time to play together. Lastly, Sean takes a look at the Febuary 26th win over the Indiana Pacers, otherwise known as the Pizza Party game, which is the single best encapsulation of the reasons for optimism as the Raptors head into next season. Join us over on the Locked On Raptors Discord server! https://discord.gg/QXzJVSNySupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Stitch FixStyle that makes you feel as good as you look—get started today at StitchFix.com/LOCKEDONNissanOur friends at Nissan have a lineup of SUV's with the capabilities to take your adventure to the next level.

In Episode 1610, Sean Woodley goes solo to react uproariously to the Toronto Raptors winning two-straight games over the weekend, first against the Milwaukee Bucks to snap a 15-game losing skid, and then against the lowly Washington Wizards, all the while Immanuel Quickley was freaking awesome. Off the top, Sean digs into Quickley being the standout of the weekend as he continues to show he's not just a scoring guard, but is very much a lead guard  who stands a chance of being one of the best guards in he entire Eastern Conference. Next, Sean chats about Gary Trent Jr.'s outstanding weekend and why he's making case that the best course for the Raptors this offseason is to keep GTJ around as opposed to going and splurging in a so-so free agent market. Lastly, Sean runs through The Good (free-throw shooting!!!), The Bad (the bench guys) and The Hmmmm (the Vince Carter themed dunking Raptor logo that should ABSOLUTELY be the team's main logo going into next season) to close out the show. Join us over on the Locked On Raptors Discord server! https://discord.gg/UTa5WHD9Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Stitch FixStyle that makes you feel as good as you look—get started today at StitchFix.com/LOCKEDONNissanOur friends at Nissan have a lineup of SUV's with the capabilities to take your adventure to the next level.

In Episode 1609, Sean Woodley is joined by Vivek Jacob (Sportsnet, Raptors in 7) to chat about Toronto Raptors icon Vince Carter getting the call to the Basketball Hall-of-Fame and his substantial legacy in Toronto and Canadian basketball history. Off the top, they discuss their reactions to the announcment, his importance to the history of the Raptors, and how their feelings on his departure from Toronto have evolved over the time. Next, they dig into the question of whether or not, in line with his HoF induction and the 30th anniversary of the Raptors, Carter should become the first Raptor to get his number to retired some time during the 2024-25 season. Lastly, they answer a couple listener questions about Carter's status as the greatest dunker of all time, and some of the stand-out game from his career that newer fans should prioritize watching to get a grasp of Carter's immmense impact at his peak. Join us over on the Discord! https://discord.gg/x988hnuPSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Amazon Fire TVFire TV recently created Fire TV Channels to deliver a constant supply of the latest videos from your favorite sports brands, all for free.

In Episode 1608, Sean Woodley goes off on the Toronto Raptors' suffering their worst loss in franchise history, a 133-85 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves with a depleted 8-man roster to push the Raptors' losing streak to 15 games, a result for which the seeds were planted all the way back at the start of the Raptors when the team's front office opted to waste the first half of its season with indirection and uncertainty. Off the top, Sean chats about how things did not have to be this way for the Raptors, and why even though the losses of Scottie Barnes and Jakob Poeltl may have been unavoidable and out of the front office's control, so many things could have been done to avoid those players going out being the death knell for any kind of competitiveness for the Raptors this season. It's a joke! Next, Sean chats about some of the stand-out performances against the Wolves, both good and bad. Lastly, Sean runs through The Good (the comedy of Malachi Flynn scoring 50 points on Wednesday night), The Bad (30 different players suiting up for the Raptors) and The Hmmmm (Vince Carter going to the Hall-of-Fame and what it means for his potential jersey retirement) to round out the show. Join us over on the Locked On Raptors Discord server! https://discord.gg/H9K7G9hgSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Amazon Fire TVFire TV recently created Fire TV Channels to deliver a constant supply of the latest videos from your favorite sports brands, all for free.

In Episode 1607, Sean Woodley is joined by Katie Heindl (DIME, Basketball Feelings) to break down the Toronto Raptors' 128-111 loss to LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers which featured dazzling returns to the lineup by RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley. Off the top, Sean and Katie chat about how nice it was to have Quickley and Barrett's dynamism back in the lineup, how they should help the Raptors pick up at least a win or two down the stretch to avoid a 21-game losing streak to end the season, and how those two guys are key reasons why next season should mark a significant step forward for the Raptors. Next, they chat about the vibes of the team not at all matching the 14-game losing streak and overall dourness of the season, with Darko Rajakovic' coaching staff and vets like Garrett Temple deserving a ton of credit for keeping the mood light and positive despite all of the bad stuff that's gone on this season. Lastly, they run through The Good (Barrett & IQ, Barrett's enormous second half dunk), The Bad (The Raptors squandering what felt like a winnable game, the lack of ideas on defense) and The Hmmmm (Mo-G as a nickname for Mouhamdou Gueye, Gradey Dick's propensity for getting to the rim) to round out the show. Join us over on the Locked On Raptors Discord server! https://discord.gg/MPT9gRu5Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Amazon Fire TVFire TV recently created Fire TV Channels to deliver a constant supply of the latest videos from your favorite sports brands, all for free.

In Episode 1606, Sean Woodley is joined by Vivek Jacob (Sportsnet, Raptors in 7) to chat about Immanuel Quickley and RJ Barrett both being on track to the return to the Toronto Raptors lineup on Tuesday night against LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers, as well as the decision to hold out Gary Trent Jr. for rest. Off the top, Sean and Vivek chat about IQ and RJ's returns, and what they're hoping to see them bring to the lineup after they both missed extended time grieving the losses of loved ones. Next, they get into the decision to rest Gary Trent Jr. on Tuesday against the Lakers, unethical tanking, and the Raptors' seemingly leaning into the hopes of keeping their first-round pick this season. Lastly, Sean and Vivek revisit the Convey or Don't Convey debate and reiterate why they think it's healthier for the franchise as a whole to convey their pick to the Spurs this summer and wipe their outgoing pick slate clean going into this summer, as well as the potential ramifications if they do in fact keep their pick and draft in the Top-6 in the 2024 NBA Draft. Join us over on the Locked On Raptors Discord server! https://discord.gg/rvgmP4SASupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Amazon Fire TVFire TV recently created Fire TV Channels to deliver a constant supply of the latest videos from your favorite sports brands, all for free.

In Episode 1605, Sean Woodley goes solo to recap the Toronto Raptors' 13th-consecutive loss, a 135-120 defeat at the hands of the Tyrese Maxey and Joel Embiid-less Philadelphia 76ers in which the Raptors' defense was as lifeless as it's been at any time during this dire late season stretch. Off the top, Sean rejects the notion that this was some sort of moral victory for the Raptors, who to their credit managed one of their better offensive showings in a while, but completely failed to offer any resistance against a Sixers team without its two best players -- a troubling item considering how badly this Raptors team could use a couple of guys popping on the defensive stretch during this phase of end-of-roster evaluation. Next, Sean talks about a strong effort from Bruce Brown, and lays out the case for just keeping Brown around if they can't find a deal for an upgrade on the wing involving his salary before his deal becomes guaranteed for next year. Lastly, Sean runs through The Good (Kyle Lowry, still doing it), The Bad (the generally checked-out vibe of the fan base) and The Hmmm (Would you Rather: Bruce Brown & Gary Trent Jr. OR Buddy Hield & Kyle Lowry on next year's team?) to round out the show. Join us over on the Locked On Raptors Discord server! https://discord.gg/As7Wj74RSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Amazon Fire TVFire TV recently created Fire TV Channels to deliver a constant supply of the latest videos from your favorite sports brands, all for free.

In Episode 1604, Sean Woodley is joined by Jamar Hinds (Raptors Republic) to talk about the Toronto Raptors' historically bad 145-101 home loss to the New York Knicks on Wednesday night. Off the top, they discuss the one bright spot: Gradey Dick's 23 points on 10/18 shooting and the ever-increasing variety with which he's getting his buckets. Plus, how does this current Raptors roster stack up with some of the very worst in Raptors history? Next, they chat about Precious Achiuwa's 19-12-3-1-2 effort in his return to Toronto, and  discuss whether the Raptors should feel any sellers remorse after sending Precious to New York in the OG Anunoby trade. Lastly, they run through The Good (Garrett Temple, Javon Freeman-Liberty), The Bad (Ochai Agbaji's injury, Jalen McDaniels) and The Hmmm (IQ and RJ's pending returns, when the Raptors next win will come) to round out the show. Discord link: https://discord.gg/43sEp9jaSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Amazon Fire TVFire TV recently created Fire TV Channels to deliver a constant supply of the latest videos from your favorite sports brands, all for free.

In Episode 1603, Sean Woodley is joined by Gavin Schall of Locked On Knicks to revisit the Toronto Raptors trade with the New York Knicks from earlier this year that sent O.G. Anunoby, Precious Achiuwa and Malachi Flynn to the Knicks in exchange for RJ Barrett, Immanuel Quickley and a 2nd-round pick. Off the top, they chat about Anunoby's immeasurable impact on the Knicks, his unfortunate run of elbow injuries, and how his injury history could play into the Knicks' offseason negotiations with him as he hits free agency. Next, they dig into Immanuel Quickley's evolution as a lead guard since the trade, and whether the prolific playmaking flashes he's shown were something Gavin foresaw when IQ was lighting it up as a scorer off the Knicks' bench. Lastly, they take a look at RJ Barrett's incredibly consistent and efficient start to his Raptors career and why his breakout was far less predictable than IQ's. Plus, a quick look at tonight's game, which should be an easy Knicks win, right? Come and join us over on the Locked On Raptors Discord server! https://discord.gg/WKEawBUHSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Amazon Fire TVFire TV recently created Fire TV Channels to deliver a constant supply of the latest videos from your favorite sports brands, all for free.

In Episode 1602, Sean Woodley goes solo to talk about the Toronto Raptors falling 96-88 to the Brooklyn Nets in a game that saw them break their franchise record for assists in a season, which is pretty cool!  Off the top, Sean digs into the Raptors' breaking their own single season assist mark in year on under Darko Rajakovic, and why it's a pretty amazing thing that the Raptors have maintained the integrity of their play style on offense throughout a season with so much upheaval and variable personnel. It can only bode well going forward, one would think. Next, Sean talks about a strong night from Javon Freeman-Liberty, and why he should be getting heavy run down the stretch of the season as the fringe NBA guy on the roster with the best shot of sticking as a real rotation piece on the Raptors next season. Lastly, Sean runs through The Good (The Wizards winning streak), The Bad (Jontay Porter's gambling investigation) and The Hmmmm (will the Raptors win another game this year?) to round out the show. Join the Locked On Raptors Discord server! https://discord.gg/ZbDzanb2Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Amazon Fire TVFire TV recently created Fire TV Channels to deliver a constant supply of the latest videos from your favorite sports brands, all for free.

In Episode 1601, Sean Woodley is joined by Vivek Jacob (Raptors in 7, Sportsnet) to break down the Toronto Raptors' losses to the Oklahoma City Thunder and Washington Wizards that pushed the team's losing streak to 10 games, revisit the Norman Powell for Gary Trent Jr. trade 3 years later, and more. Off the top, Sean and Vivek chat about Gradey Dick and Ochai Agbaji serving as the bright spots during the Raptors' 0-2 weekend against the Thunder and Wizards. Next, they chat about Gary Trent Jr.'s return to the lineup on Saturday, and reflect upon the GTJ for Norman Powell trade three years since it went down. Lastly, they run through The Good (Agbaji, Garrett Temple getting run), The Bad (refs taking a night off, losing 10-games in a row and the dread of staring down a lotto coin flip) and The Hmmmm (Can Kelly Olynyk's defense develop? Jahmi'us Ramsey's replaced on a 10-day by Kobi Simmons) to round out the show. Join us over on the Locked On Raptors Discord server! https://discord.gg/RHG8TrNpSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Amazon Fire TVFire TV recently created Fire TV Channels to deliver a constant supply of the latest videos from your favorite sports brands, all for free.

In Episode 1600, Sean Woodley goes solo to highlight some of the most hilarious and upsetting stats from the Toronto Raptors' 1-9 start to the month of March, which has seen Scottie Barnes, Jakob Poeltl, RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley all miss significant time. Off the top, Sean digs into the Raptors' most-used starting lineup this month, and it's unfortunate distinction as the worst lineup in all of basketball among lineups playing 50+ minutes this season. Next, Sean digs into the many stat categories that the Raptors rank dead last in in March, including win percentage, NET Rating and rebounding rate, as well as Kelly Olynyk's status as one of the single worst players in the league at driving rebounding when he's on the floor. Are there any concerns about Olynyk to be drawn from this month, during which he inked a 2-year extension with the team? Or is this simply a byproduct of being the most important player on the team right now? Lastly, Sean takes a look at how the Raptors have fallen off a cliff in their ability to score off of live ball turnovers. It's baffling. They simply refused to finish in the open court! Anyway, the Raptors play the Thunder tonight, so all these numbers are sure to get much, much worse. Join us over at the Locked On Raptors Discord server! https://discord.gg/JzyAg7QnSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Stitch FixStyle that makes you feel as good as you look—get started today at StitchFix.com/LOCKEDONNissanOur friends at Nissan have a lineup of SUV's with the capabilities to take your adventure to the next level.

In Episode 1599, Sean Woodley goes solo to chat about the Toronto Raptors falling 123-89 to the Sacramento Kings in yet another flat performance for a totally depleted team. Off the top, Sean digs into the recent struggles of Gradey Dick, who finished just 1/8 against the Kings, and has really been hit hard by the losses of the Raptors' top players, perhaps more than anyone else on the team. Next, Sean chats about Kings guard Malik Monk and his potential fit as a free agent target for the Raptors this summer. Could Monk's offensive juice help the Raptors become one of the league's best offensive teams? Or would his lack of size and defense make him perhaps not the best use of the Raptors salary cap flexibility this summer. Lastly, Sean runs through The Good (dunks), The Bad (the bottom third of the NBA just not even trying anymore) and The Hmmm (Tristan da Silva's big night for Colorado) to round out the show. Join us over on the Locked On Raptors Discord server! https://discord.gg/554uxYYqSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Stitch FixStyle that makes you feel as good as you look—get started today at StitchFix.com/LOCKEDONNissanOur friends at Nissan have a lineup of SUV's with the capabilities to take your adventure to the next level.

In Episode 1598, Sean Woodley goes solo to field listener questions about the flailing Toronto Raptors, the NBA Draft and Team Canada's Men's Olympic roster. Off the top, Sean digs into a question about the Raptors' pursuit of wing additions to their roster this summer. Is it possible to get an OG Anunoby level guy to slot into this team between the Quickley-Barrett backcourt and the Barnes-Poeltl front court? Could they make a big swing trade? Or are stop gap options like Patrick Williams, Naji Marshall or Caleb Martin more realistic wing upgrades in the short team? Next, Sean answers a question about the roots of his general draft skepticism, and why the experience of being a Raptors fan over the last 25 years as surely informed his feeling that going out and trading for established players is a more viable way to build a surefire good team than hoping the luck of the draft is in your favour. Lastly, Sean runs through rapid fire questions on whether the Raptors or Spurs will make the playoffs first, two-big lineups, and the roster for Team Canada at this summer's Olympic's in Paris. Join us over on the Locked On Raptors Discord server and enter our listener bracket challenge! https://discord.gg/xyFvCNpASupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Stitch FixStyle that makes you feel as good as you look—get started today at StitchFix.com/LOCKEDONNissanOur friends at Nissan have a lineup of SUV's with the capabilities to take your adventure to the next level.

In Episode 1597, Sean Woodley is joined by Matthew Winick (The Score) to chat about the college prospects Toronto Raptors fans should be keeping an eye on as they watch the 2024 NCAA Men's March Madness Tournament, which begins with the First Four games tonight. Off the top, Sean and Matthew discuss the somewhat underwhelming crop of college prospects this year, as well as why Kentucky is a team Raptors fans should be keeping a close eye due to the sheer volume of prospects on their roster that could be available when the Raptors pick either in the Top-6, with Indiana's pick brought back for Pascal Siakam, or in the early second-round with the Pistons pick acquired in the OG Anunoby trade. Next, Sean and Matthew discuss the key guys at UConn -- Stephon Castle and Donovan Clingan - -as well as the two potential Raptors selections at Baylor -- Yves Missi and Ja'Kobe Walter -- and where each of their skillsets would fit on the Raptors roster. Lastly, they run through some prospects rapid fire style, with quick thoughts on Purdue's Zach Edey, Virginia's Ryan Dunn, Grand Canyon's Tyon Grant-Foster, and Colorado's Tristan da Silva and Cody Williams. Join the Locked On Raptors Discord and take part in our listener bracket challenge! https://discord.gg/KrdPJVuJSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Stitch FixStyle that makes you feel as good as you look—get started today at StitchFix.com/LOCKEDONNissanOur friends at Nissan have a lineup of SUV's with the capabilities to take your adventure to the next level.

In Episode 1596, Sean Woodley is joined by Vivek Jacob (Sportsnet, Raptors in 7) to break down the Toronto Raptors' 0-2 home-and-home weekend against the Orlando Magic in which Gary Trent Jr. played well, but not a whole lot else went right for the freefalling Raptors. Off the top, they chat about Gary Trent Jr.'s back-to-back strong showings, and whether we are any closer to getting clarity on GTJ's role with the Raptors going forward as his free agency draws nearer. Is his shooting worth keeping him in the fold on its own? Can he perform in any context outside of being a starter? And how much could GTJ be worth on the open market this summer? Next, Sean and Vivek chat about a rough weekend for Immanuel Quickley, who up against the length and nastiness of the Magic's defense, showed off some of the areas where he'll still need to improve in order to fully tap into his ample potential as a lead guard. Lastly, Sean and Vivek run through The Good (Jordan Nwora's 3rd quarter on Sunday, Bruce Brown settling in), The Bad (Kelly Olynyk's defense, some truly awful half court offense) and The Hmmm (Jahmi'us Ramsey, The Magic as an aspirational team for next year's Toronto Raptors to take after) to round out the show. Join us to play in the Locked On Raptors listener men's and women's bracket challenge  over on the Locked On Raptors Discord server! https://discord.gg/kFA6fJ4FSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Stitch FixStyle that makes you feel as good as you look—get started today at StitchFix.com/LOCKEDONNissanOur friends at Nissan have a lineup of SUV's with the capabilities to take your adventure to the next level.

In Episode 1595, Sean Woodley is joined by Jamar Hinds (Raptors Republic) to chat about the depleted Toronto Raptors falling to the very bad Detroit Pistons 113-104 on Wednesday night. Off the top, Sean and Jamar dig into why these losses to terrible opponents simply cannot hurt them anymore, as the Raptors are rolling out a roster that is not at all representative of the team they are going to have to work with going forward. The nice part is that they're still sticking to the Darko Ball principles, even if they're not talented enough to really execute it. Plus, is this sad end to the season more or less depressing than the finish to the Tampa season in 2020-21? Next, Sean and Jamar dig into the fringe guys on the roster, and determine where or not they are A Guy for next year's team, with thoughts on Jontay Porter, Javon Freeman-Liberty, Jordan Nwora, Jahmi'us Ramsey and more. Lastly, they run through The Good (Ramsey's windmill dunk), The Bad (defensive rebounding, Ochai Agbaji) and The Hmmm (more IQ talk, Ramsey's standing among all-time 10-day contract highlight purveyors) to round out the show. Join the Locked On Raptors Discord server for free right here! https://discord.gg/rcFS7BxDSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Stitch FixStyle that makes you feel as good as you look—get started today at StitchFix.com/LOCKEDONNissanOur friends at Nissan have a lineup of SUV's with the capabilities to take your adventure to the next level.

In Episode 1594, Sean Woodley is joined by Katie Heindl (Basketball Feelings, DIME) to break down the Toronto Raptors narrow loss to Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets before taking a look at the ways in which the Raptors have reconnected with their roots as a development-first franchise. Off the top, they chat about Gradey Dick and RJ Barrett's big nights against the Nuggets, and why the blown second half lead isn't really much to get upset or excited about. Next, they dig into the ways in which the Raptors have gotten back to their developmental ways this season, and how the fractured natured of this year's team has helped guys progress in unexpected ways. Lastly, Sean and Katie discuss how the individual strides made this season can be parlayed into cohesive team success in 2024-25 and discuss the single individual skill improvement on the team that could most unlock them next year. Join us on the Locked On Raptors Discord server! https://discord.gg/884S6G8WSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Stitch FixStyle that makes you feel as good as you look—get started today at StitchFix.com/LOCKEDONNissanOur friends at Nissan have a lineup of SUV's with the capabilities to take your adventure to the next level.

In Episode 1593, Sean Woodley is joined by Vivek Jacob (Sportsnet, Raptors in 7) to talk about the Toronto Raptors falling 128-118 to the Portland Trail Blazers in overtime on Saturday night in a game that featured many of the same plot points as Thursday loss to Phoenix: tough start, second-half surge, Immanuel Quickley going off, and Chris Boucher showing out well in a losing effort. Off the top, Sean and Vivek chat about Quickley, who's avergaing 22-6-8 on 60% True Shooting since the All-Star break, giving a glimpse at how tantalizingly high his ceiling as an offensive engine for the Raptors might be. Next, they chat about Chris Boucher logging 31 effective minutes against the Blazers, Darko Rajakovic's comments about him being a center first and foremost, and his future with the Raptors. Lastly, they run through The Good (Boucher, Kelly Olnyk's 15-6-8-2-2 night), The Bad (Defensive rebounding, Ochai Agbaji's decision-making) and The Hmmm (the need for defensive juice on the wings, Gradey Dick's passing) before a devastating video review to close out the show. Join us over on the Locked On Raptors Discord server! https://discord.gg/C2Px4cDaSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Stitch FixStyle that makes you feel as good as you look—get started today at StitchFix.com/LOCKEDONNissanOur friends at Nissan have a lineup of SUV's with the capabilities to take your adventure to the next level.
