Episode 1231
In Episode 1225, Sean Woodley is joined by Jamar Hinds (Raptors Republic) to discuss their biggest concerns about the Toronto Raptors heading into the 2022-23 NBA season. Off the top, they chat about the complicated dynamics at play on a team with six core pieces, five of whom are going to be on the search for plenty of offensive touches, and whether the challenge of dispersing those touches in a way that keeps everyone happy could be a risk to the overall vibes of the team. In particular, how might Gary Trent Jr. and OG Anunoby cope with being the fourth and fifth options? And is there a pathway to keeping everyone happy this season, perhaps beginning with Fred VanVleey adapting his role to become more of a table-setter than shot-taker? Next, Sean and Jamar dig into the issue of minutes management. Will Nick Nurse be able to keep Fred VanVleet, Pascal Siakam and Scottie Barnes from being near the top of the league in workload again with some newfound depth? And will the Raptors approach to the regular season change from the balls-to-the-wall approach they look to 2021-22? Lastly, they discuss the issue of three-point shooting, how much improvement the team can count on, and whether the half court offense as a whole can tick up from its 26th-ranked status last year. If so, will the defense get a little more conservative?
