In Episode 1491, Sean Woodley goes solo to outline his predictions for where the Toronto Raptors will finish in the league-wide offensive and defensive rankings in 2023-24. Off the top, Sean details why he is so bullish on the Raptors having an elite defense. Between a change of scheme, a prioritization on allowing a healthier opponent shot diet, and the overall talent in the team’s rotation, this defense should have the juice to land within the league’s Top-5. Next, Sean examines the offense, which is lacking obvious fallback sets by which they can produce easy offense, but figures to play a more aesthetic pleasing brand of basketball, even if the offense is a little worse on a per-possession basis. Can the transition attack be potent enough to buoy the Raptors to the offensive heights they reached last season, when they finished 13th in the league? Lastly, Sean attempts the impossible and predicts where the Raptors will slot into the league’s overall NET Rating charts, and what that will mean for their overall record. This team could certainly add to its 41-win total from last season on the strength of its defense, but how much will they need to add to give the front office the clarity it seems to be searching for when it comes to the future of Pascal Siakam, O.G. Anunoby and more.

Where do you predict the Raptors will finish on offense & defense this season?
20th on offence if Gary starts 15th if Scotty has the ball more and Pascal hits his threes og gets more touches
4th on defence
