Masai Ujiri & Pascal Siakam uneasiness dominates Toronto Raptors Media Day w/ Vivek Jacob

Episode 1496

In Episode 1483, Sean Woodley is joined by Vivek Jacob to break down everything that came out of Toronto Raptors Media Day, with extra attention paid Masai Ujiri, Pascal Siakam and Darko Rajakovic's press conferences. Off the top, Sean and Vivek dissect the bizarre and uncomortable pressers of Ujiri and Siakam, and the state of limbo the team still seems to be stuck in as it pertains to their best player. Next, they chat about some of the more exciting notes of Darko Rajakovic's presser, digging into the promise of a 10-man rotation being in use this season, as well as the way in which is seems like multiple players are going to get shots to run the offense, with Scottie Barnes seemingly not being pigeon-holed into the traditional point guard role. Lastly, Sean and Vivek run through rapid fire thoughts on Christian Koloko, who is out indefinitely with ongoing respiratory issues, and Scottie Barnes, who spoke about his improved conditioning and added muscle mass, if that's the type of thing that excites you on Media Day.
