Locked On Raptors - Daily Podcast On The Toronto Raptors

The Locked On Podcast Network is 10 years old, and we're celebrating by drafting the best Toronto Raptors transactions made over the last 10 years! In Episode 2131, Sean Woodley and Vivek Jacob go toe to toe to try and select the most potent 5-deep rosters of good trades, signings and draft picks made by the Raptors since June of 2016. Kawhi Leonard surely will come up, as will the selection of Scottie Barnes, and re-signing of Kyle Lowry, the deal for the final puzzle piece of the title team in Marc Gasol, and oh so many more of the good moves made by Bobby Webster, Masai Ujiri and the Raptors front office over the last decade.

Which highly projected NBA Draft prospects are most likely to slide into the Toronto Raptors range at 19th overall? In Episode 2130, Sean Woodley is joined by Tyler Metcalf (No Ceilings) to talk about the strength of the Raptors' range in this year's deep first round, the pros and cons of Labaron Philon Jr.'s profile as a small guard with a lot of skill, whether Michigan's Yaxel Lendeborg stands a chance of falling out of the lottery after being mocked to go there for most of this draft cycle and more before Sean throws some of his firmest-held half-baked draft takes at Tyler for him to swat down.

Is Toronto Raptors guard Immanuel Quickley a core piece of the Scottie Barnes era, or is he walking trade bait as the team looks to upgrade its guard situation? In Episode 2129, Sean Woodley and Joe Wolfond discuss Immanuel Quickley's place in the Toronto Raptors plans going forward, his ideal role within a team led by Scottie Barnes and Collin Murray-Boyles, the improvements he made as a two-point scorer, why his absence in the playoffs was such a bummer for many reasons, and whether the Raptors will ever be able to figure out the two-man chemistry between IQ and Barnes. Lastly, Sean and Joe talk about embattled Spurs point guard De'Aaron Fox, and whether the Raptors should consider pursuing him this summer if the Spurs are looking to move on before his huge contract extension kicks in.

OG Anunoby had himself an all-time moment at the end of Game 4 of the NBA Finals, which has one listener asking if he's having the best post-Raps career of any former Toronto Raptor in history! In Episode 2128, Sean Woodley and Katie Heindl field mailbag questions from you, the freaks, about whether what OG is doing for the Knicks outstrips the post-Raptors arcs for guys like Pascal Siakam and Chris Bosh, whether there's another OG Anunoby lurking in this year's NBA draft in the range where the Raptors will be picking, whether they'd trade Collin Murray-Boyles for Dylan Harper or Stephon Castle, and how the Raptors can borrow from the Toronto Tempo both on and off the court.

The Toronto Raptors reportedly have interest in New York Knicks big man Mitchell Robinson per Jake Fischer... but why? In Episode 2127, Sean Woodley goes solo to talk about the Raptors' reported interest in Robinson and why it makes absolutely zero sense for Toronto at this point in their team build before digging into scouting reports on a couple more prospects. Off the top, Sean gets into why Robinson is such a bizarre rumoured target for a Raptors team without much room to add in free agency and already employs a paint-bound big man with health concerns in Jakob Poeltl. Next, Sean gets into why Meleek Thomas of Arkansas is a ton of fun as a prospect, even if he's a tad hooper pilled. Is he a better guard prospect than Ebuka Okorie? Lastly, Sean talks about Tennessee wing Nate Ament, who doesn't nearly have the star power that he seems to get projected upon him, but is there a helpful if underwhelming role player in there?

Former Toronto Raptors forward OG Anunoby just might mess around and win NBA Finals MVP with the New York Knicks, and we love that for him! In Episode 2126, Sean Woodley is joined by Vivek Jacob to talk about the joy of watching Anunoby take flight in these playoffs, his incredible development as an offensive player, and whether they view the Bobby Webster extension in any sort of negative light when thinking back to how OG's tenure in Toronto ended. Plus, they imagine a world in which the Raptors did in fact find a way to make it work with OG and Scottie Barnes as the core pillars of the team, and whether the Raptors will remain searching for the next OG for years and years and years.

The Toronto Raptors announced Monday that they've extended GM Bobby Manager and added the Executive Vice President title to his ledger; was it the right move for the Raptors to opt for stability going forward? In Episode 2125, Sean Woodley reacts to the news of Webster's extension and promotion before digging into NBA Draft prospects Dailyn Swain (Texas) and Morez Johnson Jr. (Michigan). Off the top, Sean talks about why the Raptors' opting to go forward with Webster in command is a much preferable option to allowing Keith Pelley and MLSE to conduct a search for a new head of basketball ops. Just look at how that went with the Leafs. Webster might not have a perfect record, but he's done more good than bad, and seems to understand how to build a winner in this specific market while having done a good job pulling the Raptors out of the muck and back into relevance. Next, Sean talks about Dailyn Swain, a creative force of a ball-handling wing who gets to the rim at will, but has some questions about his off-ball efficacy and defensive consistency. Lastly, Sean talks about Morez Johnson Jr., an absolute unit of a man who was a key figure on this years' national champ Wolverines team. There's no way he's there at 19 though, right?

The Toronto Raptors are building their team around Scottie Barnes and Collin Murray-Boyles going forward, but what will that look like in actuality? In Episode 2124, Sean Woodley and Joe Wolfond dig deep into what the Raptors will need to do in order to optimize the roster around their two most important players going forward. Off the top, they discuss whether having two players with questionable three-point shots but truly unique qualities as defensive players opens up a wide range of team building paths, or if the front office will be restricted and forced to target very specific types of players over the next handful of years. Next, they examine whether or not Murray-Boyles should be viewed as a full-time centre, and the bar that would need to be cleared by a theoretical stretch big man to make it worth moving off of the Scottie-CMB 4-5 combo in the team's most important minutes going forward. Is it best if the Raptors target a greater number of cheap big men with varied skills to fill in the gaps when the Barnes-CMB duo isn't manning the five? Lastly, they chat about how the NBA Draft should be approached by the Raptors, and why the Barnes / Murray-Boyles duo gives them license to pick from a wide range of positions as opposed to be married to one type of player. Plus, a customary plea by Sean and Joe for more guard play.

Which members of the Toronto Raptors would find themselves playing minutes for the New York Knicks or San Antonio Spurs in the NBA Finals? In Episode 2123, Sean Woodley and Katie Heindl field mailbag questions from you, the listeners! Off the top, Sean and Katie answer a question about which Raptors would be logging serious minutes for the Knicks or Spurs in the finals. Scottie Barnes is a given, and so is Collin Murray-Boyles. But after that? Well, that's an interesting discussion! Next, they get asked about whether there are any realistic forward upgrades upon Brandon Ingram out there on the trade market, and kick around Kevin Durant, Kawhi Leonard and Trey Murphy III as potential on-court fits, even if a move for any one of them is wildly unlikely. Lastly, they get asked about why the Raptors have been posting so many Gradey Dick highlights on socials this week, discuss his future with the team, and also whether Jamison Battle is in line to be a rotation fixture next season.

With the NBA Draft just 20 days away, it's time for the first official Locked On Raptors Big Board! In Episode 2122, Sean Woodley goes solo to run through the 10 guys he has at the top of his wish list for the Raptors with the 19th pick, choosing from the guys who seem like they could realistically be available when the Raptors are on the clock -- meaning no Cameron Carr (sad), Morez Johnson or Dailyn Swain, though all those dudes would be a lot of fun. Off the top, Sean talks about why his dream draft night outcome remains a Labaron Philon Jr. slip down the board, with a Hannes Steinbach slide coming in as a close second. Next, Sean declares his believe in Bennett Stirtz as a guy who is simply to good at basketball to not find some level of success in the NBA, why he comes in slightly ahead of Stanford guard Ebuka Okorie on version one of the Big Board, and why Joshua Jefferson rounds out his personal Top-5, athleticism and age concerns be damned. Lastly, Sean rattles through prospects ranked 6th through 10th on his personal board, including the mercurial Chris Cenac Jr., the talented but small Christian Anderson, Allen Graves, Jayden Quaintance and Henri Veesaar. Enjoy!
