How's Toronto Raptors head coach Darko Rajakovic performing now into his second season on the sidelines? In Episode 1748, Sean Woodley goes solo to field a handful of listener questions about Darko Rajakovic's grade as the Raptors' bench boss so far, the upcoming 2025 Draft (yes, we're there already) and the future of a couple bench pieces on the Raptors with very different long-term outlooks.
How's Toronto Raptors head coach Darko Rajakovic performing now into his second season on the sidelines? In Episode 1748, Sean Woodley goes solo to field a handful of listener questions about Darko Rajakovic's grade as the Raptors' bench boss so far, the upcoming 2025 Draft (yes, we're there already) and the future of a couple bench pieces on the Raptors with very different long-term outlooks. Off the top, Sean assesses the performance of Rajakovic so far, digs into how he's excelled in the developmental part of his job, and why we're still very much unclear on Darko's acumen as a late-game coach. Is he the type of coach who will need to replaced once the Raptors are competitive? Maybe! But we have no clue just yet. Next, Sean digs into what the ideal player archetype for the Raptors to add in this summer's draft would be based on the state of the team, before tackling a What's More Likely scenario regarding Cooper Flagg. Lastly, Sean discusses the short and longer team plans for Jonathan Mogbo, and whether he'd rather see the Raptors extend Davion Mitchell, or trade him by the deadline.
