In Episode 1511, Sean Woodley is joined by Joe Wolfond (The Score, Pound the Rock) to chat about some of the biggest key storylines surrounding the Toronto Raptors with 10% of the schedule now in the books, with discussions on Pascal Siakam, Scottie Barnes, Dennis Schröder and more. Off the top, Sean and Joe chat about whether anything the team’s 4-4 start to the year has altered their thinking compared to their preseason expectations, and examine how Scottie Barnes’ leap has changed the entire context of the team. Next, they chat about the concept of fitting Pascal Siakam and Scottie Barnes together in a complementary way, whether it’s achievable, and how Siakam’s dominance in the post can be an avenue to them achieving some form of on-court symobiosis. Plus, could the Raptors stand to have Siakam run more pick-and-roll, especially in smaller looks with Scottie at the five? Lastly, Sean and Joe do a deep dive on Dennis Schröder’s impressive start to the season, what they’ve liked the most about his game, where they see potential signs for regression, and much more.

Raptors have to pay OG. Pascal is not getting that super max. The team needs real shooters to put around Scottie. As constructed they're not maximizing Scottie. That Pascal money takes care of all those things. Raptors have to be decided by deadline or we are screwed.
Dat boi joe look like pau gasol
I just don't get the Pascal attachement long term. He had a good game against Dallas because he beat up on 6'5 Grant Williams. He's struggled mightily this season against half decent defenders his size and against centres Ie Ayton and Embiid bigger than him.
Even if his offense starts to improve, his main problem is his defense. He rarely gets rebounds in traffic, he often loses track of his man on D for back door cuts etc, he doesn't consistently box out, he runs back on D poorly (ie the last Caruso winner in the Chi game was brutal effort on his part) He's not a good 3 pt shooter and doesn't provide enough spacing, especially with Poetyl.
Trade him to a good to great team (OKC) for 1st rd pick(s), a shot creating guard and a big upgrade off the bench.
remember when you thought scottie couldnt run the offense
Pau has some off time😂..can’t Unsee it
