In Episode 1363, Sean Woodley goes solo to break down the Toronto Raptors' 1-1 weekend against the Minnestoa Timberwolves and the league-best Milwaukee Bucks that featured plenty of promising signs for the 9th-place Raps. Off the top, Sean digs into how the Raptors' offense, while still searching for consistent results, has clearly found some sound process by putting guys into positions that history suggests they can succeed in. Fred VanVleet's walking into all kinds of pull-ups thanks to Jakob Poeltl's screening, Jak is finishing on the roll courtesy FVV with regularity, O.G. Anunoby's becoming the ultimate secondary scorer, and Pascal Siakam's using the post-up to his advantage once again. Next, Sean chats about another new wrinkle in VanVleet's game of late: crafty interior scoring, the type of skill maturation that is going to bode well as the 6'0 VanVleet ages. Plus, Precious Achiuwa's return to the rotation featured tons of promise, and the race for the play-in is likely down to the Raptors, Atlanta Hawks and Chicago Bulls. Lastly, Sean runs through the Good (The Raptors become a dunk-forward team), the Bad (Scottie Barnes' wrist injury) and the Hmm (the cost of the Raptors' offensive rebounding on the defensive end) to round out the show!
