The Toronto Raptors have the talent to be a playoff team in the Eastern Conference next year. In Episode 1808, Sean Woodley rings in another Toxic Positivity Friday by laying out the case for why the Raptors can make the playoffs in their first full season with Brandon Ingram, what even a medium outcome in the draft lottery could do to increase the talent quotient of the team, and game out what the 15-man roster could look like going into next season.
The Toronto Raptors have the talent to be a playoff team in the Eastern Conference next year. In Episode 1808, Sean Woodley rings in another Toxic Positivity Friday by laying out the case for why the Raptors can make the playoffs in their first full season with Brandon Ingram, what even a medium outcome in the draft lottery could do to increase the talent quotient of the team, and game out what the 15-man roster could look like going into next season. Next, Sean digs into the the things in the Raptors favour that could make them a potent regular season team, from having more insurance than they've had in recent years, to the internal growth their class of 2024 rookies should be able to achieve, the value of having legitimate depth, and the climbable state of the Eastern Conference hierarchy. Lastly, Sean imagines what this team's playoff viability might look like, and why more than the actual playoff results, the mere chance to test this team's mettle in a playoff setting is what will really matter.
