The Toronto Raptors are building their team around Scottie Barnes and Collin Murray-Boyles going forward, but what will that look like in actuality? In Episode 2124, Sean Woodley and Joe Wolfond dig deep into what the Raptors will need to do in order to optimize the roster around their two most important players going forward. Off the top, they discuss whether having two players with questionable three-point shots but truly unique qualities as defensive players opens up a wide range of team building paths, or if the front office will be restricted and forced to target very specific types of players over the next handful of years. Next, they examine whether or not Murray-Boyles should be viewed as a full-time centre, and the bar that would need to be cleared by a theoretical stretch big man to make it worth moving off of the Scottie-CMB 4-5 combo in the team's most important minutes going forward. Is it best if the Raptors target a greater number of cheap big men with varied skills to fill in the gaps when the Barnes-CMB duo isn't manning the five? Lastly, they chat about how the NBA Draft should be approached by the Raptors, and why the Barnes / Murray-Boyles duo gives them license to pick from a wide range of positions as opposed to be married to one type of player. Plus, a customary plea by Sean and Joe for more guard play.
