The Toronto Raptors have said they want to add a young big man to the team; what if they added a young and WEIRD big man with the ninth-overall pick? In Episode 1873, Sean Woodley digs into a trio of super interesting big man prospects in this year's class and gets into whether or not they'd make sense for the Raptors to take a swing on with the ninth-overall pick. Off the top, Sean gets into Michigan point center Danny Wolf, who does things with the ball in his hands that big men are not supposed to do. But is he TOO strange a prospect to really hit in the NBA? Next, Sean gets into Georgetown freshman Thomas Sorber, who's a bit more traditional as a defense-first, interior scoring big man, but who brings plenty to the table as a connective passer as well. Lastly, Sean talks about Stanford big man Maxime Raynaud, who's coming off a crazy productive season at Stanford and might be the single best bet in this year's big man class to be a true stretch big at the NBA level. But can he hang on the defensive end?

The Toronto Raptors have long been pegged as having a clear type of prospect they dig in the NBA Draft, but do they still actually target the classic "Raptorsy" prospects they were once known for? In Episode 1871, Sean Woodley goes solo to dig into some NBA Draft-themed mailbag questions from the listeners! Off the top, Sean digs into whether the Raptors' recent selection of Gradey Dick and Ja'Kobe Walter mark a change of direction for the Raptors front office, and answers whether or not such a thing exists as a "Raptorsy" prospect anymore. Next, Sean gets into the last fourth ninth-overall picks -- Zach Edey, Taylor Hendricks, Jeremy Sochan and Davion Mitchell -- and discusses where those teams went wrong, if they did at all. Lastly, Sean dives into a question about the types of skills he tends to watch for in prospects that hint at their NBA translatability, including feel blended with athleticism, passing acumen, shot-making and multi-role projectability.
