Locked On Raptors

In Episode 1683, Sean Woodley is joined by Jamar Hinds (Raptors Republic, TSN) to answer a bunch of mailbag questions about a great many Toronto Raptors topics, including goals for the 2024-25 season, key role players on this year's squad, and an interesting either/or What If debate. Off the top, Sean and Jamar chat about whether they would rather the Raptors have another season from hell but be guaranteed Cooper Flagg at the top of next year's draft OR have a surprisingly good season and make it all the way to Game 7 of the second round of the playoffs, with Scottie Barnes and Immanuel Quickley very much looking the part of foundational pillars. Next, they tackle questions about which Raptors player outside of their core four of Barnes, Quickley, RJ Barrett and Jakob Poeltl will have the best on/off metrics next season, and where Bruce Brown might be best deployed. Lastly, they dig into a question about three-point improvement: would it be better for Scottie Barnes to take a 5% jump on catch-and-shoot threes
