Expected raptors lineup: Scottie RJ IQ Yak Dick Bench: Davion/shead , Kelly/Carlson , Ochai/Jakobe , Boucher/brown/mogbo. Exciting 9 man lineup! Let’s go raptors! (Praying everyone is healed up asap)
I like your takes here, generally. I think that, certainly at the start of the season Chris has to play. We're too damn small otherwise. We only have one other real big man in Jakob; I 'm not counting Kelly because he provides no rim protection and little rebounding. Unless we trade for more size, this year Chris has to play.
This year I'd go development go for top 4 pick next year's draft is the chance to get a true superstar in Cooper Brooklyn and Detroit are our only true competition for last place
Your argument for Ochai makes a ton of sense, Will. If we're going against tough perimeter threats (which is most teams tbh), I think it'd be wise to start Ochai even if it's going to hurt the offense a little bit. I'd hate to throw Scottie or Quick on Maxey, much more Gradey. Ja'Kobe is an underrated option for the starting lineup. Also, I'd start Mogbo/Scottie at the 3/4 as a stopgap solution when RJ is out, makes the lineups more balanced imo
@@Htiy Mogbo sure, but Ja'Kobe could be better than expected, I'm not ruling that out. Ja'Kobe provides defense and shooting, two things the Raptors always desperately need.
What about Jamal Shead starting. Then you have a defensive point of attack guard in the first and second units and you take a lot off wear off Quickly's legs in game and over the long run. It also adds much needed shooting to second unit if Gradey comes off the bench. Obviously Jamal is a rookie but this is a development year anyway and it creates a defensive focus for 48 minutes. Its outside of the box but I think it could work.
Until we begin to make efficient 3-pt shooting a feature of our team, we’re not going anywhere. For years we’ve not had any 3-pt shooters who were reliable, and this year seems no different. Ideally we should blend great defence with efficient 3-pt shooting.
I never understand why people always make things about race? If Gradey wasn’t white would we here in Canada constantly trying to push him in the starting lineup?? I believe Jamal Shead is a better starter. The 5 starter should be Scottie,RJ. IQ, Jakob and Jamal Shead. Coming off the bench Gradey as six man Ja’kobe Walter 7 so on.

People talk about how bad the defense was but remember they had g leagues starting to the point 905 didn't have enough players to play
What an excellent show today. Appreciate all your effort and wish you great success. Thank you.
great as always!

Ja'Kobe could get there but right now he's kinda skinny and has missed preseason. Ochai is definitely much stronger right now on defense.
I see no world where mogbo and jakobe ever start until next year or year after. They need polish

Against teams with good backcourt they should start Mitchell

Why is the podcast called Hello and Welcome, Will?
You need to get better sound setup. I hear the podcast on my drives and in the car the episode with Vivek was very hard to follow.
Are back on tv

Based on the video image I'd put my money on Lou.
Fuck it, start battle at the 2. Who needs defence. That boy is a sniper. 😂
We need Blake to show up on the podcast someday.
No need to extend davion rn
Boucher needs to switch to power forward, Scottie moves to small forward... R.J. to shooting guard... Yakob, and somebody else... The slow guy...
Why do you and the rest of y’all media people ask the worst/ most self explanatory questions
