In Episode 1472, Sean Woodley is joined by Vivek Jacob (Raptors.com) to discuss the Toronto Raptors’ starting lineup options going into the 2023-24 season. Off the top, they discuss both of their preferred starting lineup choice: Scottie Barnes, Gary Trent Jr., O.G. Anunoby, Pascal Siakam and Jakob Poeltl, and why prioritizing Scottie Barnes’ development, to them, needs to be the leading factor in which ever decision head coach Darko Rajakovic makes. Next, they examine the possibility of swapping Trent Jr. out for new signing and FIBA World Cup MVP Dennis Schröder, and discuss some of the pros (extra ball-handling, defense) and cons (a dire lack of shooting and spacing) of what a Barnes-Schröder-Anunoby-Siakam-Poeltl lineup might be. Lastly, Sean and Vivek discuss some deeper bench candidates to potentially carve out a starting role on the team this season. Could Jalen McDaniels get on a three-point heater and work himself into the starting lineup plans? What about Otto Porter Jr.? All that and more on today’s show!
