Can Fred VanVleet, Scottie Barnes & O.G. Anunoby help the Raptors survive without Pascal Siakam?

In Episode 1276, Sean Woodley is joined by Vivek Jacob (Raptors.com) to chat about the Toronto Raptors’ 1-1 weekend against the Dallas Maverick and Chicago Bulls that saw Pascal Siakam go down with a groin injury, while Fred VanVleet returned from his back stiffness for a 30-5-11 outburst. Off the top, Sean and Vivek dig into the Siakam injury and why Fred VanVleet and Scottie Barnes are going to have a ton of responsibility heaped on their shoulders to help keep the Raptors’ offense moving along smoothly without Siakam and his MVP candidate-level play. Next, they chat about the two stars of the weekend: OG Anunoby, who continues to lead the league in steals while settling into his role as Toronto’s Opportunist in Chief on the offensive end, and Christian Koloko, who is proving to be a wonderful luxury for the Raptors on the back end, with his six-block effort against DeMar DeRozan and the Bulls proving to be his best game as a pro to date. Lastly, Sean and Vivek share their Good (Chris Boucher, the return of Thad Young to the rotation), Bad (Precious Achiuwa’s rough start, Siakam’s injury) and Hmm (Toronto’s uneven compete level, an offensive rebound uptick) from a very busy weekend of Raptors hoops.
