The Toronto Raptors saw the long-awaited return of starting point guard Immanuel Quickley over the weekend, but dropped a pair of games to the Clippers and Lakers on a tour of Los Angeles that saw the team get something of a reality check on their current station within the league. In Episode 1745, Sean Woodley goes solo run through his big takeaways from the weekend, Quickley's up-and-down return through two games, Ochai Agbaji's trustworthiness and much more. Off the top, Sean digs into the reality checks experienced by head coach Darko Rajakovic, big man Jakob Poeltl and RJ Barrett, all of whom had their struggles over the weekend. Next, Sean digs into the return of Immanuel Quickley to the lineup, how he aids their late-game offense, his issue with killing his dribble too soon, and the potential return of his floater touch. Lastly, he runs through The Good (Ochai Agbaji), The Bad (Jamison Battles' missed threes, fouling up 3 not being a federal crime) and The Hmmmmm (can the Raptors get right against the reeling Bucks on Tuesday as the NBA Cup begins?) to round out the show.
