Raptors Early Season Grades, Mystery Serbian Centre Prospect, Usage, Contracts & Scottie Barnes



In today’s weekend show, we discuss A LOT. Some early data 16 games in, grading each Raptor so far, The law of diminishing returns, Scottie’s declining usage, a mystery centre prospect in Serbia who fits EVERYTHING Toronto needs playing in Darko’s homeland, and how the stats showed us how bad Jordan Poole would eventually be. From cognitive biases, to how we creatively see what we want to see in numbers, this is going to be a fantastic live to continue a trend of less grabby, more informative content.

  1. Re: Masai. As much as I am glad we moved on from Fred, I can't help feel that he would be back if the price was right. If that had happened, I shudder to think how this team would look right now.

  2. Bruno!!! Yes, please! Who has his NBA rights? Anybody? How else would one bring a Euroleague player to the nba midseason?

  3. 😂 most of these guys don't care about the in season tournament, lol neither do I.

  4. Great analysis as usual Rob. I think the fact that Masai has been ambivalent as to whether they are in win now mode or rebuild is equally frustrating for the rest of the NBA in negotiations for our players as well as for us fans since it muddies our expectations of how these trades are working out.

  5. A very Happy Birthday to you Rob. May you be blessed with the best .
    Thank you again for all the beautiful posts you make and enjoy them so much . Always look for it after a game ! 🙏

  6. So I guess Gradey went down to the G to just stand in the corner and do nothing. What’s with the coaching down there? What the hell is their focus? They are a complete mess on defense, can’t execute a play on offense.. his speed is a serious issue as you said, can’t get his own shot, but can’t create space to shoot, can’t release fast enough either.

  7. Happy Birthday. Mine is today🙂. People need time. It’s only been 1/5th games required played. Yak’s having self-confidence challenges, yes, but he’s coming around. Gary, Precious just dealt with a ailment or disease. Dick is gone (and is likely depressed why he lost his first game). Chris simplified himself two years ago. Glad the team isn’t mainly about one guy. I am not capable of being a Masai or a Bobby so, will refrain from commenting. Raptors never has enough $ 😫. Glad Thaddeus and Garrett are around, yes. …Your expectations are fascinating.
