In Episode 1625, Sean Woodley is joined by Vivek Jacob (Sportsnet, Raptors in 7) to chat about the Toronto Raptors and how they can build themselves back into a team that's part of the NBA postseason every season. Off the top, Sean and Vivek chat about what the goal should be for any team entering into the early years of a building cycle, and why building a team that can be a no-doubt Top-6 playoff team is way more realistic than building an upper crust contender built around one of the select few championship landscape-shifting players in the NBA. Next, Sean and Vivek dig into what the formula for a Top-6 team is, how Scottie Barnes and Immanuel Quickley figure to give the Raptors' a Top-6 worthy backbone of talent, having to Top-10 on either offense or defense, and other elements that annual playoff teams share. Lastly, Sean and Vivek look at what pieces need to be added to the current mix to get the Raptors where they want to go, which additions are the most important to completing the puzzle, and much more!
