Locked On Raptors - Daily Podcast On The Toronto Raptors

The Toronto Raptors announced on Tuesday that RJ Barrett is out for the rest of the preseason with a sprained AC joint in his right shoulder; how much time is he likely to miss, and who should see an uptick in minutes with Barrett out the lineup? In Episode 1723, Sean Woodley goes solo to break down what Barrett's injury means for the Raptors, when we can expect to see Barrett return to the lineup, who will fill in his place in the Raptors' starting five if he can't return for the start of the season, and which guys on the Raptors roster stand to gain (or lose) the most from the opportunity provided by Barrett's absence. Off the top, Sean details the wide range of potential outcomes for Barrett's AC sprain, which is the same injury that rookie Ja'Kobe Walter is also dealing with. The most optmisitic timeline could see him return in time for the season opener on October 23rd, but there's a worst case scenario where he misses up to six weeks, according to some of the more trusted injury experts out there on basketball internet. But all is not lost, as Sean details why Barrett, of the Raptors' core four players, is the one the Raptors can probably most capably survive without for a short stretch of time. Next, Sean digs into the cases for Ochai Agbaji, Davion Mitchell and Kelly Olynyk take on the fifth starting spot with Barrett sidelines. And lastly, Sean ranks the top-5 players with something to gain (or lose) with a good (or bad) run of play while Barrett, Walter and Bruce Brown remain sidelined. Can Ochai Agbaji carve out a season-long rotation job? What will happen to Gradey Dick's usage with no Barrett to finish plays? And what about the chances sure to  be afforded to Jamal Shead, Chris Boucher and DJ Carton?

How much will the Toronto Raptors difficult start to the schedule affect the course of the year to come? In Episode 1722, Sean Woodley is joined by Vivek Jacob (Raptors in 7, Sportsnet) to talk about a grab bag of Toronto Raptors-related topics as training camp presses on, including how much the difficult schedule will or will not affect the course of this season, realistic expectations for rookie guard Jamal Shead, and their first impressions of the Raptors' aggressive defense. Off the top, Sean and Vivek talk about the schedule, whether the difficulty of it matters much to the big picture of the Raptors' season, and why Sean actually thinks it's a good team for this team to get tested early as they're trying to lay down a standard. Next, Sean and Vivek discuss Jamal Shead, what he can realistically do for the Raptors this season, and whether he'll play the majority of the season with the Raptors or Raptors 905 in the G-League. Lastly, they chat through their initial takeaways from the Raptors' defense in the preseason opener, where guys like RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley figure to fit into it, and much more!

Toronto Raptors Jamal Shead looked ready for the big show, while Mississauga's own RJ Barrett picked up where he left off last season and with Team Canada in the summer as the Raptors handled the Washington Wizards 125-98 to open up the preseason in Montreal on Sunday night. In Episode 1721, Sean Woodley goes solo to recap the Raptors' return to the floor. Off the top, Sean digs into Jamal Shead being the scene-stealer of the preseason opener, with his tenacious on-ball defense, pick-and-roll playmaking and interior scoring all making him look the part of a guy who should be considered for real NBA run to begin the season. Next, Sean rattles off nine takeaways on nine players who chipped into the win over Washington, including a RJ Barrett's brilliant 14 minutes of action before a shoulder contusion knocked him out for the second half, though hopefully for not much longer. Plus, thoughts on Jonathan Mogbo, Gradey Dick, Kelly Olynyk, Ochai Agbaji, Davion Mitchell, Bruno Fernando, DJ Carton and Ulrich Chomche's performances. Lastly, it's the return of The Good (Chris Boucher, sage vet with something still to offer), The Bad (The Washington Wizards), and The Hmmmm (Jamison Battle, and the competition for the final roster spot on the team).

The Toronto Raptors aren't going to be any great shakes this year, but they'll surely be better than the depressing Chicago Bulls, right? In Episode 1720, Sean Woodley is joined by basketball internet writing legend Kelly Dwyer to talk about the Raptors' place among the East's bottom feeders, why this season has a chance to be pretty joyful, being better the Bulls, Vince Carter getting his number retired by the Raptors and Nets and Scottie Barnes before playing a round of the revamped 'I Remember That Game!' Off the top, they get into why the Raptors are gonna be both better and less sad than a Bulls team that has no shot, before getting into the Raptors building towards something interesting as Scottie Barnes matures. Next, we get the outside opinion on the Raptors retiring Vince Carter's jersey, and the Nets doing it as well, before some more Scottie talk as he looks to become the next Raptors superstar. Lastly, Sean tests Kelly's knowledge of the mid-2000s Raptors and Bulls with a round of the newly revamped 'I Remember That Game!'.

The Toronto Raptors are making defensive improvement a focus of this season, but do they have the ingredients on hand to put together a good NBA defense? In Episode 1719, Sean Woodley goes solo to take a look at the defensive building blocks the Raptors have on hand, the schemes they can run to optimize their strength and mitigate their weaknesses, and the role internal developement and ratcheted up effort will play in the Raptors' attempt to build a passable defense this season. Off the top, Sean dives into why Jakob Poeltl gives the Raptors a strong baseline for a competent defense, and how guys like Scottie Barnes and Davion Mitchell bring some much neede defensive talent to the table. Next, Sean digs into the statisical profiles of last year's Top-10 defensive teams to try and identify what makes a great defense. Apart from talent and size, having "A Thing" to hang your hat on seems to be a solid way to make your defensive metrics pop. Lastly, Sean takes a look at the role internal development for guys like Scottie Barnes, RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley will play in the Raptors attempt to improve upon last year's 27th-ranked defense, and why buy-in and effort -- something Darko Rajakovic already has some history of getting out of his team -- are huge parts of the equation as well.

The Toronto Raptors probably aren't going to be a very good team in 2024-25, but they absolutely have the capacity to be a Fun Bad team. In Episode 1718, Sean Woodley and Katie Heindl (Basketball Feelings) link up to talk about the almost unprecedented circumstances Toronto Raptors fans finding themselves facing this season, as they team for the first time since arguably the late-90s comes into the year expected to be bad, but with plenty of hope for what lies ahead in the years to come. Sean and Katie chat about the freedom of lowered expectations, and the joy of feeling like you're in on the ground floor with a group of guys who should mostly be around the team for the long haul. Next, they discuss what they thing makes a team either Fun Bad or Sad Bad, and try to figure out where this year's Raptors slot in on that continuum. The threat of a nasty late season tank is there, but for the most part, this has the makings of the fun kind of losing team. Lastly, Sean and Katie talk about some of the things they're hoping to derive joy from this season, including the newly announced purple throwback jerseys, nostalgia, youthful exuberance and more!

The Toronto Raptors seem to have no illusions of grandure about their outlook for the  2024-25 season, but everyone seems to be on the same page regarding building towards a better outlook down the line. In Episode 1716, Sean Woodley goes solo to react to Toronto Raptors Media Day and share his biggest takeaways from the day full of press conferences at Scotiabank Arena. Off the top, Sean digs into why it seems like everyone from the top down seems to be on the same page about this season being less about wins and losses, and more about laying the foundation for the next era of Toronto Raptors basketball. What's most encouraging, is that everyone seems to be excited about it. Next, Sean digs into defense, which was the talk of the day from basketball perspective, and why it seems like Darko Rajakovic is going to treat defense similarly to how he did offense last year. But will the talent level be there to help sound process translate into good results? Lastly, Sean digs into some rapid fire takeaways on the Raptors being big believers in Immanuel Quickley, no full jersey redesign or rebrand in sight (boooo) and Masai Ujiri's touching tribute to Dikembe Mutumbo, who passed away today at the age of 58 after a battle with brain cancer.

The Toronto Raptors will open up training camp next week, with media day being hosted on Monday; what are the key burning questions for the team going into the year? In Episode 1715, Sean Woodley goes solo to lay out the three questions he's most interested in finding some answers for as the Raptors front office, coaches and players face the media to kick off the 2024-25 NBA season. Will we get a look at what the team's intentions are for this season, and whether they're trying to be competitive or setting up for a year of angling for lottery position? Are we any closer to know what Darko Rajakovic wants his team to do on defense? Sean has some ideas. And lastly, what are the Raptors cooking up with Scottie Barnes and Immanuel Quickley? We should hopefully get closer to finding out on Monday!

Are the Toronto Raptors more likely to be worse than the Detroit Pistons this season, or better than the Miami Heat? In Episode 1714, Sean Woodley and Jamar Hinds (Raptors Republic) play a round of What's More Likely? Off the top, they dig into whether there's a better chance of the Detroit Pistons overachieving and finishing in front of the Raptors in the Eastern Conference standings than there is of the Miami Heat having a backslide and finishing behind Toronto. Next, they talk about the two guys who will likely see the most opportunity with Bruce Brown out of the lineup, and discuss whether Ja'Kobe Walter or Ochai Agbaji is more likely to earn a season-long rotation gig while the Raptors' top trade candidate is on the sidelines. Lastly, Sean and Jamar discuss whether it's more likely we see the Raptors execute a full firesale and trade away three or more veterans before the trade deadline, or to see them trade future assets to add to the roster now. Moses Moody Hive stand up!
