Locked On Raptors

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
