Toronto Raptors continue to get owned by Milwaukee Bucks | Top-5 Prospects in the 2025 NBA Draft?
The Toronto Raptors fell big to the Milwaukee Bucks on Friday night in a game that made your brave host think all about the 2025 NBA Draft. In Episode 1789, Sean Woodley goes solo to talk about Scottie Barnes’ struggles against the Bucks in the team’s 130-112 loss on Friday, make his first swing at a Top-5 prospect ranking ahead of a the 2025 NBA Draft, and run through some other stray notes from the Raptors’ 32nd loss in 42 games. Off the top, Sean talks about Scottie Barnes’ struggles from three-point range, why no Immanuel Quickley means more Scottie threes for better or (usually) worse, Barnes still finding ways to be effective even in a 4-of-16 outing, and why without IQ there really isn’t much left to learn about this team. Next, Sean ranks his five favourite potential prospects for the Raptors atop the 2025 NBA Draft, with thoughts on Cooper Flagg, Dylan Harper, Ace Bailey, Asa Newell and Kasparas Jakucionus. Lastly, Sean runs through The Good (Kelly Olynyk!), The Bad (the matchup with the Bucks) and The Hmm (Bruce Brown’s eventual fate) to close out the show.

"Of it all" lol.
Fan of thinking basketball?
I really think everybody still sleeping on Barnes…. Barnes has improved in different areas every year…. And next year when the Raptors start putting in real plays and consistent line ups… Barnes is going to make people eat their words.
If Raps get either the 1st or 2nd pick… definitely Flagg and Harper… at 3 probably Bailey (depending on how he finishes the college season)
Beyond that… it wouldn’t surprise me if they trade #4 and move back a couple of spots and get another pick and select players like Newell and Rasheer Fleming and hoping for someone like Carter Bryant (if he declares).
